About this map

Sargent serves as the focal point of this Custer County landscape, situated along the Middle Loup River and the Burlington Northern railroad line. The map reveals an intricate irrigation system including the Sargent Canal and Sargent Canal No 2, highlighting the agricultural development in this part of Nebraska during the mid-20th century.

Rural education is prominently documented through several local landmarks like North Star Sch, Mt Pleasant Sch, and the already School No 36 (Abandoned). The topography is defined by significant drainage features such as Bohys Canyon and McCord Canyon, which cut through the uplands north of the river valley. Genealogists and local historians can also locate the Kent Cem near the northern boundary and the Sargent Landing Field just east of the main town site.
