2021 Map of Elm Creek East

About this map

The Platte River corridor defines this landscape south of Elm Creek, where the river's braided channels and the large Long Island stretch across the valley. The map documents a highly managed water system, including the Kearney Canal and the North Channel Platte River, essential for the agricultural economy of the Nebraska plains. These watercourses are flanked by a rigid grid of rural roads, such as Custer Rd and Odessa Rd, which delineate the sections of t9n r18w and t9n r17w.
