2021 Map of Sargent West

About this map

The Middle Loup River valley anchors this Custer County landscape, where the town of Sargent sits along its northern bank. The geography is defined by a network of drainage systems including Sand Cr and Spring Cr, which carve through the terrain to form notable features like Cheshire Canyon and Leydell Canyon. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, marked by established burial grounds such as West Union Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Mount Hope Cem. This network of cemeteries, paired with a grid of county roads like Blue Mound Rd and Sargent Rd, illustrates a pattern of long-term prairie settlement. The southern portion of the sheet follows the river's path, showing the close relationship between the local road infrastructure and the natural floodplain of the Loup River system.
