2014 Map of Alma SW

About this map

The Republican River and its complex network of tributaries dominate this landscape on the border of Nebraska and Kansas, south of Alma. The terrain is defined by the intersection of natural waterways like Sappa Cr and Flag Cr with mid-century agricultural infrastructure, including the Cambridge Canal. Significant water management is evident through several named catchments such as Haeker Reservoir and Bantom-Coe Reservoir, which support the rural landscape. To the east, the map captures the western edge of Harlan County Lake, a major regional feature that transformed the local geography. This 2014 survey documents the enduring agricultural character of the region, where roads like Ne-89 and W Arrow RD navigate the rolling drainage basins between Prairie Dog Cr and the river valley.
