2011 Map of Arabia

About this map

Arabia sits at the northern end of this Nebraska landscape, where the Sandhills terrain meets a network of managed water and small drainages. The primary artery of travel is the diagonal route of 20, which cuts across the territory toward the southeast. Water management is a central theme of the geography, evidenced by the Ainsworth Canal in the southwest and the O'Kief Reservoir and O'Kief Dam in the northeast. These features, along with Evergreen Creek and the South Fork Fairfield Creek, define the drainage patterns of this sparsely settled portion of Cherry County. The presence of Lake St in the lower portion of the map suggests local movement through an otherwise open expanse of cattle country and prairie.
