About this map

The town of Cambridge sits at the confluence of several watercourses in southwestern Nebraska, dominated by the path of the Republican River. This map shows the complex irrigation and drainage network vital to the region's agricultural character, including the Red Willow Canal and the Bartley Canal flowing south of the city. To the north, the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Medicine Cr and Little Medicine Cr, which carve through the terrain toward the river valley.

Local landmarks and infrastructure are clearly detailed, from the Cambridge Municipal Airport north of town to the Fairview Cem located just west of the main settlement. The survey area also captures the convergence of three counties—Frontier, Red Willow, and Furnas—reflecting the administrative boundaries that intersect this rural landscape. Smaller tributaries such as Shelly Cr, School Cr, and Richmond Cr provide a look at the natural drainage patterns that have shaped land use in the canyon country north of the river.
