2011 Map of Pilger

About this map

The village of Pilger sits along the northern banks of the Elkhorn River in this 2011 survey of Stanton County. The landscape is defined by a grid-like agricultural road network and several notable water management features, including Willers Reservoir and Bordner Reservoir. These reservoirs, along with the Pilger Reservoir 1-B, illustrate the critical role of water control in this plains environment. Local history is anchored by the Pilger Post Office and the Pilger Cemetery, while the northern terrain is drained by meandering tributaries like Plum Creek and Sand Creek. The inclusion of Black Hills Trail Rd provides a link to regional transit corridors passing through the settlement, which serves as a central hub for the surrounding rural sections.
