2014 Map of Westerville

About this map

Westerville and the nearby agricultural crossroads of Weissert anchor this rural landscape in Custer County. The map reveals a community defined by its proximity to Clear Cr, which winds through a complex system of draws and hills between the French Tableland and Dry Valley. Genealogists and local historians can locate several historic burial grounds, including the Franch Tableland Cem, Lone Tree Cem, and Dry Valley Cem. The transportation network is built upon the primary corridor of Us-183, which runs north-south, and the local east-west route of Ne-70. The terrain transitions from the high, flat expanses of the tablelands to the more dissected drainage patterns near the creek, illustrating the relationship between topography and early settlement patterns in central Nebraska.
