About this map

The Republican River valley defines this landscape along the border of Nuckolls County, Nebraska, and Jewell County, Kansas, in the mid-1970s. The settlement of Bostwick sits north of the river, positioned between the Burlington Northern railroad line and the waterway. This area shows a highly managed water system designed for agriculture, evidenced by the extensive paths of the Courtland Canal and Superior Canal which parallel the river's winding course.

Local landmarks such as the 2-R School and a rural Cem reflect the established farming community. The terrain is further etched by numerous tributaries including Middle Cottonwood Creek, Sand Creek, and Gimlet Creek. Hydrological monitoring is noted at the Gaging Station near the southern boundary, while the presence of several Gravel Pit sites indicates local resource extraction supporting the region's infrastructure during this era.
