About this map

The Middle Loup River winds through the southwestern corner of this Custer County landscape, anchoring a rural economy defined by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure. The Taylor-Ord Canal and Canal Number 2 cut across the terrain, reflecting the vital role of water management in Nebraska's agricultural history. The town of Sargent serves as the local hub, centered at the intersection of Broadway St and E Main St, where the Sargent Post Office remains a central landmark for the community.

Beyond the town limits, the map reveals the layout of rural education and memory, preserved in locations like School Number 36 and the Kent Cemetery. The physical geography is marked by distinctive features such as Divide Hill and Little Oak Canyon, while smaller waterways like Sioux Creek and the North Branch Turtle Creek drain the surrounding fields. Modern utility and recreation are represented by the Sargent Municipal Airport and the Sargent Golden Acres RV Park, providing a complete picture of the area's development.
