About this map

Loup City serves as the focal point of this Sherman County landscape, situated along the northern banks of the Middle Loup River. The town's grid is detailed down to specific streets such as N 8th St and S 12th St, while the local aviation needs are met by the Loup City Municipal Airport to the northwest. For genealogists, the map identifies local burial grounds including Evergreen Cem and Saint Josephats Cem, providing essential points of reference for family history research in the Platte River valley region.

To the east, the sprawling waters of the Sherman Reservoir dominate the terrain, featuring distinct points such as Muddy Point and the appropriately named Big Thunder Island. This reservoir, fed by Oak Creek, is a modern centerpiece for the area's hydrology, which also includes the complex irrigation network of Canal Number 1. Historical crossings and local recreation spots like Fishermans Bridge and Shaughnessy Bay reflect the area's ongoing relationship with its managed water resources and the river valley's agricultural infrastructure.
