The landscape around Culbertson is open High Plains prairie near the Republican River valley, which has shaped both the town’s layout and its agricultural economy. Set in southwestern Nebraska’s Hitchcock County, this small community lies on U.S. Route 6, a historic transcontinental highway that still links it with the wider plains. Culbertson was founded in 1873 as the railroad advanced across the region and was named for fur trader Alexander Culbertson. Its broad streets, rail heritage and working-farm surroundings speak to the practical character of Nebraska’s interior. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Nebraska.
