About this map

The Middle Loup River valley dominates this portion of the Nebraska Sandhills, carving a broad path through a landscape of intricate topographic ridges and canyons. The settlement of Milburn sits at a strategic point along the river, where the Ne-21a-Spur provides access across the shifting terrain. To the southeast, the small community of Gates is situated near the junction of Sargent RD and Gates RD, serving as a local anchor for the surrounding ranching and agricultural lands.

Several prominent natural features define the elevation changes here, including Cedar Canyon, Ash Canyon, and River Canyon. The presence of the Gates Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this part of Custer County. Smaller waterways like Victoria Cr and Dry Cr feed into the main river, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped these central Nebraska highlands over generations.
