About this map

Bertrand and Smithfield serve as the primary hubs of this agricultural landscape along the Gosper and Phelps County line. The map reveals a precise grid of rural infrastructure, defined by an extensive network of numbered roads and the vital irrigation pathway of Lateral E-65. This water management system is essential to the local economy, cutting across the terrain to support the farms that surround these small communities.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific locations of Highland Cemetery south of Bertrand and Immanuel Cemetery to the east. The natural drainage of the region is marked by several watercourses, including Plum Creek in the northwest and Big Turkey Creek in the southwest. The town site of Bertrand is detailed with its street names, including School Street and Montrose Avenue, showing the concentrated residential core amidst the surrounding fields.
