2021 Map of McGrew

About this map

McGrew sits on the southern banks of the North Platte River, serving as a focal point for the agricultural landscape of western Nebraska. The area is defined by a sophisticated irrigation network, with the Castle Rock Canal drawing water toward the fields surrounding the town. To the south, the terrain shifts abruptly from the river valley into a series of dramatic buttes and canyons along the Scotts Bluff Co Banner Co line. Landmarks such as Steamboat Rock, Castle Rock, and the Twin Sisters rise above the plains, providing distinct navigational points for generations. Genealogists and local historians can locate the High Butte Cem north of the county line, while the southern reaches of the map reveal a more isolated landscape of gaps and canyons, including Hubbard Gap and the winding Logan Canyon near Pumpkin Creek.
