About this map

Agricultural development in the Nebraska Panhandle is defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems and railroads, as seen in this mid-1960s study of Morrill County. The Tri-State Canal, Lowline Canal, and Northport Canal cut across the landscape, managing water from drainages like Red Willow Creek and West Water Creek. Numerous siphons facilitate this engineered water movement through the varied terrain of Haynes and Yockey.

Settlement is concentrated along the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line, which anchors the community of Angora. Local history is preserved at the Angora Cem and scattered educational sites such as School No 73 and School No C-14. The map also documents the industrial presence of several Gravel Pits and the small siding at Perrin, illustrating a rural economy deeply tied to both the rails and the reclaimed soil.
