About this map

The Middle Loup River carves a significant diagonal path through this Custer County landscape, defining the local geography alongside the winding course of Victoria Creek. The settlement of Milburn sits near the river's northern banks, anchored by the Milburn Post Office. Further south and east, the community of Gates serves as another focal point for the region, featuring both the Gates Post Office and the Gates Cemetery.

The terrain is marked by distinct erosional features including Cedar Canyon, River Canyon, and Ash Canyon, which interrupt the plateau. A network of local routes like Victoria Springs Rd and Milburn Rd connect these rural hubs, while the seasonal flow of Dry Creek underscores the semi-arid character of the Nebraska sandhills region. This survey provides a clear view of the sparse but established settlement patterns in the early 21st century.
