2021 Map of Broadwater NW

About this map

North Platte River flows through the southern portion of this Morrill County landscape, anchoring a complex system of water management essential to the region's agricultural character. This 2021 survey details the intricate network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure, including the Browns Cr Canal, Silvernail Drain, and the RD 111 Northport Canal. The terrain is defined by the significant incision of Cedar Canyon, which cuts through the high ground north of the river valley, while Browns Cr meanders across the eastern sections. A grid of rural roads, such as Stine Ranch Rd and numerous numbered county routes, provides access to the sectional divisions of the Nebraska Panhandle. The map illustrates the persistent intersection of natural hydrologic features and the engineered waterways that have long sustained ranching and farming in this part of the state.
