1951 Map of Round Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Lillian Creek carves a path through the dissected hills of Custer County, shaping a landscape defined by its isolated valleys and rural community hubs. The area is anchored by the small settlement of Round Valley, where local history is centered around the Round Valley Cem. This mid-century survey, updated in the 1970s, captures the distribution of rural education before the consolidation of many country districts. The map documents the placement of the Sargent Valley Sch and the Swiss Valley Sch, both located near their namesake drainages of Sargent Valley and Swiss Valley. These schools and cemeteries provide essential coordinates for genealogists tracing family footprints in central Nebraska, reflecting a settlement pattern built around water sources and small-scale ranching and farming operations during the mid-20th century.
