About this map

The agricultural landscape of Southwest Nebraska is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation infrastructure designed to manage the flow of water across this high-plains region. Culbertson Canal and the Culbertson Extension Canal trace the elevation contours, serving as critical lifelines for the surrounding farmsteads. These waterways, along with the Blackwood Lateral Canal, intersect the natural drainage of Blackwood Cr, illustrating the intensive modification of the terrain for production. Small-scale water management is evident at the Miller Reservoir, while the presence of the Hock Airport highlights the logistical connectivity required for rural operations. This survey captures a specific moment in the mid-2010s where modern county roads like Road 727 and Road 374 follow section lines, framing the junction of Red Willow, Hitchcock, Hayes, and Frontier counties.
