About this map

Courthouse Rock and Jail Rock rise above the Nebraska plains in this survey of Morrill County, serving as enduring landmarks for travelers along the North Platte River valley. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems essential to High Plains agriculture, including the Belmont Canal, Meredith Ammer Canal, and the Courthouse Rock Canal. These waterways parallel the natural drainage of Pumpkin Cr and Greenwood Cr, illustrating the heavy reliance on diverted water to sustain the local economy. The small settlement of Alden sits along the roadway grid, surrounded by a transition from the riparian corridors to the higher elevations of the surrounding townships. The map documents the persistent layout of section roads, such as RD 82 and RD 78, which provide access to the expansive agricultural tracts and grazing lands that dominate the region.
