About this map

Frenchman Creek meanders through this portion of Hitchcock County, serving as the primary hydrological artery for the settlement of Beverly. The landscape is defined by its sophisticated irrigation infrastructure, including the Culbertson Canal and Riverside Canal, which diversion water across the plains to support local agriculture. This network of man-made waterways illustrates the 20th-century reliance on managed water resources in western Nebraska.

Local landmarks such as Nowka Reservoir and its associated Nowka Dam sit to the east, while Beverly Reservoir lies near the townsite. The map also records the rural road grid, including Old Hwy 17 and several numbered routes like Road 387 and Road 722. North of the Frenchman valley, the terrain is marked by the drainages of Blackwood Creek, showing a transition from the irrigated valley floor to the higher prairie uplands.
