About this map

Culbertson serves as the central hub of this Nebraska landscape, situated at the confluence where Frenchman Creek meets the Republican River. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation infrastructure essential to Great Plains agriculture, including the Riverside Canal, Upper-Meeker Canal, and the Blackwood Lateral Canal. These man-made waterways snake through the valley, supported by local storage such as Kugler Reservoir and Korell Reservoir.

The presence of Frenchman Airport north of the river and a grid of rural county roads, such as Co Rd 716 and Co Rd 712, illustrates the intersection of modern transport and traditional ranching or farming plots. This survey captures the precise water management system of the Hitchcock Co Red Willow Co line area, highlighting how the Driftwood Canal and Driftwood W Canal extend into the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
