2014 Map of Arapahoe

About this map

The Republican River and its accompanying Cambridge Canal define the southern valley of this landscape, where the settlement of Arapahoe sits at the intersection of Us-34 and Us-283. The town's grid is meticulously detailed, including residential streets like Cherry St, Walnut St, and Pine St north of the river banks. To the north, the terrain becomes increasingly undulating, marked by numerous small-scale water management features including Union Ridge Reservoir, Leissing Reservoir, and Krumme Reservoir. This area highlights the critical nature of water control for agriculture and ranching on the high plains. Local history researchers can identify the location of the Arapahoe Cem north of town and the Arapahoe Municipal Airport tucked between the drainages of Muddy Cr and Elk Cr. The boundary line between Gosper Co and Furnas Co divides the upper third of the quadrangle, illustrating the regional political geography.
