About this map

The North Platte River defines the northern reaches of this Morrill County landscape, where an intricate network of irrigation systems supported the region's agricultural development. Early 21st-century water management is visible through the courses of the Beerline Canal, Belmont Canal, and Browns Cr Canal, which divert water across the plains south of the river. The terrain is marked by distinctive hydrological features such as Deep Holes Spring and Camp Creek Springs, alongside numerous ephemeral drainages like Deep Holes Creek and Lower Dugout Cr. A regular grid of section lines and county roads, including RD 80 and RD 78, organizes the open country, providing clear points of reference for tracing local land use and family holdings in this rural Nebraska township.
