About this map

Springview serves as the central hub of this Keya Paha County landscape during the mid-1960s, situated on a high plateau above an intricate network of drainage systems. The northern portion of the map is defined by the open country of Burton and Custer precincts, where rural life is anchored by family-named landmarks and essential community institutions like Green Valley Sch. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites across the township lines, including Sugarloaf Hill Cem, Mount Hope Cem, Rogers Cem, and Highland Cem.

The topography transitions sharply in the south, where the land drops into a series of deep, parallel ravines carved by McClain Hill Creek, Thomas Creek, and Luckey Creek. This dramatic terrain is crisscrossed by a network of Jeep Trails, suggesting a landscape used for cattle ranching or limited access. The presence of Gravel Pits and the Springview Municipal Airport adjacent to the town site reflects the infrastructure supporting this isolated Nebraska community as it appeared in the years following the Missouri River Basin development program.
