2014 Map of Round Valley

About this map

Round Valley serves as the focal point of this Custer County landscape, where the flat, agricultural basin is sharply contrasted by the surrounding loess hills. The map documents a rural Nebraska community defined by its valleys, including Sargent Valley to the north and the secluded Swiss Valley at the southern edge. The small settlement area and the nearby Round Valley Cemetery provide critical anchor points for genealogists and local historians tracking family roots in this corner of the Sandhills transition zone. Water drainage across the western half of the quadrangle is dominated by the meandering path of Lillian Creek, while the local transportation network is anchored by Round Valley Road, which links the disparate homesteads and farmsteads scattered across the terrain.
