About this map

High plateau landmarks known as tables characterize this section of Custer County, defining the local geography with names like Schukar Table, Stop Table, and Hansen Table. These elevated landforms, including Rock Island Table, dominate a landscape carved by Sand Creek and the long course of the Stump Ditch. This rural area is anchored by several sites of genealogical importance, specifically the Stop Table Cemetery in the north and the Sells Valley Cemetery further south.

Water management is central to the local environment, evidenced by the Spring Creek Dam 25-A and the associated Spring Creek Reservoir 25-A. The road network is primarily composed of descriptive routes like Stop Table Rd and Roten Valley Rd, which follow the natural contours of the valley and plateau system. This survey illustrates how early settlement patterns and nomenclature were dictated by the distinct table-top topography of the Nebraska plains.
