2014 Map of Edison

About this map

The Republican River valley defines the character of this Furnas County landscape, where the small settlement of Edison sits at the junction of Us-34 and Us-136. This agricultural region is heavily defined by its water management systems, notably the Cambridge Canal which skirts the northern banks of the river. The topography is marked by numerous creeks such as Big Antelope Cr and Turkey Cr feeding into the main river channel, with several family-named water bodies including Gregg Reservoir, Ziebell Reservoir, and Broeker Reservoir punctuating the uplands. Local history is anchored by the Edison Cem and the Stump Cem, the latter located near the border with Gosper County. The map provides a clear view of the rural section-line road network, such as Road 726 and Road 430, which have organized the prairie into its modern agricultural layout.
