2014 Map of Bertrand SE

About this map

Bertrand anchors the southwestern corner of this Phelps County landscape, where the flat agricultural plains of Nebraska are defined by a rigid grid of rural roads and essential water infrastructure. The northern reaches are dominated by the Johnson Reservoir, a vital water resource for the region's farming economy. Evidence of early settlement and local genealogy is found at Sandstrom Cem, situated near the small community of Westmark. The map reveals a complex network of irrigation, most notably the Lateral E-65 canal, which cuts across the terrain to support the surrounding fields. Transportation follows a systematic pattern of lettered and numbered routes, including the primary north-south thoroughfare of Loomis-Overton Rd, illustrating the organized expansion of rural infrastructure into the 21st century.
