About this map

The Niobrara River carves a distinct valley through this section of the Nebraska Sandhills, providing a stark geographic contrast to the surrounding terrain. Two primary river crossings facilitate movement through this sparsely populated landscape: Madison Bridge and Rockford Bridge, both situated along the winding watercourse. The presence of Center Cem indicates the historical center of the local community, serving as a vital touchstone for genealogists and local historians tracing families in this part of Cherry County. Ne 61 serves as the primary north-south artery, cutting through the sandhills and intersecting the river valley, while Leander Cr drains the northern reaches of the quadrangle.
