2021 Map of Milburn

About this map

The Middle Loup River winds diagonally across this section of Custer County, serving as the central geographic feature for the small communities of Milburn and Gates. The river's broad valley is flanked by a series of distinct geographical formations, including Cedar Canyon, River Canyon, and Ash Canyon. These natural corridors suggest the varied drainage patterns and elevation changes that define the local ranching and agricultural landscape. Near the settlement of Gates, the Gates Cem provides a point of genealogical interest, situated along the road network near the confluence of Victoria Cr and Dry Cr. The area is navigated by a grid of local routes like Sargent Rd and Columbia Table Rd, which connect these dispersed settlements and highlight the enduring rural structure of this Nebraska prairie region.
