About this map

N Dry Cr meanders across this rural Nebraska landscape, defining the drainage patterns of Phelps County. The terrain is structured by a rigorous grid of section-line roads, including O Rd, P Rd, and Q Rd, which segment the agricultural land. For those researching local family history, the McGill Cem stands as a primary landmark in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Transportation and infrastructure are central to the area's layout, evidenced by the Phelps County Canal in the southwest and the presence of Wells Airport, a small local aviation facility. The map reveals a highly organized land-use pattern typical of the Great Plains, where irrigation systems and gravel roads sustain the regional farming economy.
