About this map

Pleasant Ridge Cemetery stands as a quiet focal point in this section of Southwest Nebraska, reflecting the enduring presence of local families in Hitchcock County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Frenchman Creek, which cuts across the northern edge of the terrain, and the drainage systems of Bobtail Creek and Camp Creek further south.

Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Krotter-Rice Reservoir and the accompanying Krotter Dam. These features illustrate how the high plains were adapted for agricultural stability in the early 21st century. A network of rural section-line roads, such as Road 724 and Hamlet Rd, provides the structure for the agricultural homesteads and pasturelands that characterize this remote corner of the state.
