2011 Map of Arapahoe

About this map

The Republican River and the Cambridge Canal anchor this section of southern Nebraska, where the town of Arapahoe sits at the convergence of several key waterways. This area exhibits a complex network of agricultural infrastructure, including numerous family-named dams like Leissing Dam, Dickmeyer Dam, and Golter Overflow Dam. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Muddy Creek and Elk Creek as they move toward the river valley. Local landmarks such as the Arapahoe Cemetery, the Arapahoe Post Office, and the Arapahoe Municipal Airport provide essential reference points for genealogists and local historians. To the north of the main settlement, Krumme Reservoir and its associated Krumme Dam highlight the regional reliance on water management for the plains environment. The map also documents recreational spaces like the Shady Rest Camp Motel Campground and the Arapahoe Golf Course, which serve the community along the transit corridor of the Republican River.
