2011 Map of Sargent SW

About this map

Somerford Valley and Antelope Valley anchor this agricultural region of Custer County, where the landscape is defined by the flat plateau of Boggs Table and the drainage of Wagner Creek. The map records a rural community structure established through the presence of the Antelope School and Somerford Cemetery, traditional anchors for the surrounding farmsteads. The road network, including the named Round Valley Rd, follows the section lines typical of the Great Plains, illustrating how the Public Land Survey System dictated settlement patterns well into the modern era. This 2011 survey reflects the persistence of these small community landmarks in a sparsely populated section of central Nebraska.
