About this map

The Middle Loup River valley defines the southern reach of this Nebraska landscape, where the interplay of natural watercourses and engineered irrigation is clearly visible. The region's agricultural dependency is underscored by the prominence of Canal Number 4 and Canal Number 3, which cut across the prairie to manage the flow from the river and its tributaries. These man-made channels run alongside natural drainages like Hawthorne Creek and Hays Creek, illustrating the extensive effort to water the surrounding plains.
