2014 Map of Culbertson NW

About this map

Massacre Canyon defines the historical landscape of this Hitchcock County region, cutting through the high plains north of the Republican River. The terrain is shaped by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure essential to Nebraska agriculture, featuring the Culbertson Canal, Riverside Canal, and Upper Meeker Canal. These man-made waterways parallel the natural flow of Frenchman Creek and the river, illustrating the intensive water management required to sustain the valley. The map shows the intersection of Us-34 and Us-6 as they traverse the plateau, providing a clear view of the rural section lines and local roads that have organized this territory for generations.
