About this map

The South Loup River winds through this central Nebraska landscape, defining a wide drainage basin where the borders of Custer, Dawson, and Buffalo counties converge. Near the northern edge, the settlement of Cumro sits at the junction of Cumro Rd and Box Elder Rd, serving as a focal point for the surrounding ranching and agricultural community. The terrain is marked by distinct topographical features like Flat Bottom and the wide sweep of Wild Horse Valley to the south.

Water management is evident across the quadrangle, with the Arrasmith Reservoir and Judy Reservoir collecting flow from tributaries such as Otter Cr and Sand Cr. For those researching local lineages, the Box Elder Cem near the banks of Box Elder Cr provides a specific point of genealogical interest. The map detail reflects a modern rural infrastructure of section-line roads like Loup River Rd and Apache Rd that navigate the varied elevations between the river valley and the uplands.
