About this map

The Middle Loup River winds through the sandhills of central Nebraska, anchoring the small community of Seneca. This 2021 survey documents the layout of the town as it straddles the river and the rail corridor, with streets like Broadway St and S Railroad St defining the local grid. Outside the main settlement, the landscape is marked by the intersecting boundaries of Thomas, Hooker, and Cherry Counties, reflecting the rural administrative divisions of the region.

Local history and genealogy researchers can locate two distinct burial sites in this area: Seneca Cem situated south of the river, and the more isolated Jimtown Cem to the north. The presence of the local Po and named thoroughfares such as Delmar St and Athens St provides a modern look at this Nebraska village, while the surrounding terrain is punctuated by the numerous depressions and rises characteristic of the state's sandhills geography.
