2014 Map of West Point NW

About this map

Cuming Cr and its tributaries carve a network of drainage patterns across this section of Cuming County, where the agricultural landscape is defined by a rigorous sectional road grid. The southern edge of the map is anchored by the Elkhorn River, a primary watercourse that historically influenced the development of northeastern Nebraska. A primary point of interest for genealogists and local historians is Dewitt Cem, located near the intersection of M RD and 15th RD. This burial ground serves as a localized landmark within a territory otherwise dominated by vast acreage and named streams like Felix Cr and Plum Creek. The presence of Us-275 cutting across the southwestern corner reflects the modern transportation corridor that replaced earlier pioneer trails through the valley.
