About this map

Bayard serves as the primary hub in this Nebraska landscape, where the town grid is established at the intersection of Main St and E 8th St. The surrounding North Platte Valley terrain is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and drainage systems vital to the region's agricultural heritage. Large-scale water management features like the Tri-State Canal, Ninemile Canal, and Short Line Canal snake across the plains, following the natural contours of the land to support local farming operations.

Smaller rural points of interest, such as Moomaw Corner and Craft, indicate the historical nodes of local commerce and community life. To the east, the topography shifts near Wildhorse Canyon, where the Wildhorse Drain and Stuckenhole Drain channel water through the breaks. This survey provides a detailed record of the county boundary line separating Scotts Bluff Co and Morrill Co, capturing the precise layout of rural roads like Co Rd 37 and Rd 106 that connect these dispersed homesteads and fields.
