About this map

The Middle Loup River winds through this Nebraska landscape, defining the boundary between Valley and Sherman counties. On the western edge of the quadrangle, the village of Arcadia sits near the riverbanks, served by local landmarks like Arcadia Cem and the Riverbend Airport. The agricultural character of the region is evident in the extensive water management system, including Canal Number 4 and Canal Number 3, which draw from the river to irrigate the surrounding plains.

Moving away from the river valley, the terrain is marked by a network of creeks and rural roads, such as Hawthorne Cr and Hays Cr. Section lines are clearly defined by routes like Seven Mile Ave and 471st Ave. Further south, Balsora Cem provides a point of interest for genealogists tracing early families in this part of the Loup River valley. The grid of roads and canals illustrates the systematic settlement and land use of the Nebraska interior during the early 21st century.
