2011 Map of Big Springs

About this map

Big Springs serves as the focal point of this Nebraska panhandle landscape, situated where the high plains meet the fertile valley of the South Platte River. The map documents a town structured around core community landmarks, including the Big Springs Post Office and the Big Spring Cemetery to the west. This 2011 survey reveals an intricate irrigation and transportation network, dominated by the Western Canal which snakes across the southern plains to support local agriculture. The transition from the rural village to the open range is marked by topographic features like Trailer House Gulch and the seasonal waters of Goldeneye Lake. To the north, Big Springs Junction indicates the convergence of primary transit routes, while the Newman Airport reflects the continued importance of regional aviation in this corner of Deuel County.
