About this map

The village of Broadwater serves as the focal point of this western Nebraska landscape, where the braided channels of the North Platte River dictate the region's agricultural and civil layout. This 2011 survey highlights an intricate irrigation infrastructure essential to the High Plains, featuring the Browns Creek Canal, Beerline Canal, and the extensive Belmont Canal winding through the terrain. These man-made waterways support the local economy alongside transportation markers like the Ag Air Airport and the village's rail-aligned streets.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through markers such as Rose Hill Cemetery north of the village and Silverthorne Cemetery to the southeast. To the east, the Ancient Bluff Ruins provide a distinctive geological landmark overlooking the settlement of Eastwood. The map also traces smaller water systems like Cedar Creek and Radcliff Canal, terminating near the Policky Dam in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
