2017 Map of Sargent West

About this map

The Middle Loup River winds through the southern reaches of Custer County, shaping the settlement patterns of Sargent and the surrounding agricultural tablelands. This topographical study highlights a landscape defined by deep erosion, where Chesbra Canyon, Sand Canyon, and Leydell Canyon cut into the northern uplands. For those tracing family history in the Sandhills region, the map identifies three distinct burial grounds: West Union Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Mount Hope Cem. The transition from the river valley to the rugged canyon country is marked by a network of rural routes such as Sargent River Rd and Blue Mound Rd, which follow the natural contours of the drainage systems fed by Spring Cr and Sand Cr.
