About this map

The North Platte River creates a braided waterway across this part of Morrill County, where an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure supports the high plains agricultural landscape. The prominence of the Belmont Canal, Browns Creek Canal, and Beerline Canal illustrates the intensive water management required to sustain this region. These man-made features follow the contours of the valley, diverging from natural watercourses like Browns Creek and Lower Dugout Creek.

Further south, the landscape is punctuated by vital water sources such as Deep Holes Spring and Camp Creek Springs. These natural outlets feed into drainages like Deep Holes Creek, which winds through the terrain south of the main river valley. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details how rural routes like Road 123 navigate a geography defined by the intersection of natural hydrology and systematic irrigation.
