2011 Map of Arcadia SE

About this map

The Middle Loup River dominates this section of Sherman County, its wide, braided channel cutting a path southeast through the Nebraska plains. This 2011 survey illustrates a landscape heavily defined by water management and irrigation, most notably through the engineered paths of Canal Number 3 and Canal Number 4. These man-made waterways run roughly parallel to the river's course, intersecting the natural drainage of seasonal streams like Hays Creek and Cole Creek. The map provides a clear picture of the rural section-line road grid that overlays the undulating terrain, revealing how agricultural boundaries interact with the meandering flows of Moon Creek and Cob Creek in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
