About this map

Burwell serves as the focal point for this survey of the Garfield County landscape, situated where the North Loup River and the Burwell-Sumter Canal carve through the terrain. The map documents a rural environment defined by an organized grid of section roads and water management features essential to Nebraska agriculture. Notable local landmarks include Windy Hill and the rugged contours of Jones Canyon, while genealogical interests are represented by the West Side Cem and Banner Cem. The presence of Miller Reservoir and James Reservoir Number 1 alongside smaller tributaries like Bean Cr highlights the intricate network of water resources that support the area's homesteads and farms. This 2014 edition captures the established infrastructure of the region, from state highways like Ne-11 and Ne-91 to the numerous named avenues and roads that connect the isolated farmsteads and natural features of the Nebraska sandhills fringe.
