1952 Map of Sargent SW

About this map

Antelope Valley and Somerford Valley carve through the Custer County landscape, illustrating a classic Nebraska pattern of upland farming and creek-bottom drainage. This 1952 field check, updated in the 1970s, documents the transition of local rural infrastructure, specifically noting the Antelope Sch as a site of former community gathering. The terrain is divided into prominent grazing and agricultural blocks like Lillian, Sargent, and Garfield, showing the systematic township and range organization of the Missouri River Basin. Genealogists and local historians will find the Somerford Cem and family-named landmarks like Boggs Table particularly useful for pinpointing ancestral land use and early settlement patterns along Wagner Creek and the surrounding draws.
