2021 Map of Purdum

About this map

Purdum sits as a primary point of reference in this pocket of the Nebraska Sandhills, located near the intersection of several county lines including Cherry Co Thomas Co and Thomas Co Blaine Co. The landscape is dominated by the winding path of the North Loup River, which cuts across the northern portion of the quadrangle. The road network reflects a remote ranching economy, with routes like Purdum Ave and W North Loup Rd providing essential connections through the undulating terrain. Family and local history researchers can trace land divisions and access points via Atkins Rd and Rosehill Rd, which navigate the various sections and ranges that define this sparsely populated region. This modern survey demonstrates the enduring significance of these small communities and the geography of the river valley in maintaining local connectivity.
