About this map

The South Loup River winds through this central Nebraska landscape, defining the character of Pleasanton and its surrounding agricultural reaches. This 2011 survey illustrates a community deeply tied to its water resources and land management, with the Pleasanton Post Office serving as a central hub. North of the town center, the small settlement of Pleasant Valley and the Saint Marys Cemetery provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracing local families.

Water management is prominent across the quadrangle, evidenced by the Gunst Reservoir and Brown Reservoir, along with their respective structures, Gunst Dam and Brown Dam. These features, along with the meandering paths of Dry Creek and Sand Creek, show how the natural drainage of Buffalo County has been adapted for regional use. The rural grid is anchored by family-named sites and religious landmarks like Saint Johns Cemetery in the southeast, offering a clear record of the area's social and physical geography in the early 21st century.
