2021 Map of Burger Canyon SE

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Hitchcock County is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation infrastructure and rural landmarks as it appeared in the early 2020s. Centered on the Culbertson Extension Canal and the Culbertson Canal, the map illustrates how water management has shaped this corner of Nebraska. The terrain is marked by the winding path of Blackwood Creek and the notable Burger Canyon in the northern reaches, while the presence of the Blackwood Lateral Canal highlights the intense engineering required for local farming. Cultural markers like Hock Airport and Miller Reservoir serve as fixed points of reference in a region where the borders of Hayes, Frontier, and Red Willow counties all converge. This map provides a clear view of the section lines and rural road grids that organize the high plains.
