2014 Map of Arterburn Lake

About this map

Arterburn Lake and the winding course of Frenchman Cr define this pocket of the Nebraska high plains in Chase County. This 2014 survey captures a landscape of managed water and section-line roads, where the Maranville Canal and distinct drainage features like Walnut Slough and McGuires Slough support the region's agricultural character. The terrain is structured by a rigorous grid of rural avenues and roads, including 314 Ave and 736 Rd, which provide access to the undulating fields. For researchers of western Nebraska, this map illustrates the modern configuration of water rights and land management, showing how irrigation infrastructure interacts with the natural hydrology of the Frenchman river valley.
