About this map

The Phelps County Canal dominates this rural Phelps County landscape, cutting a diagonal path through the section lines of the Nebraska plains. This man-made waterway is central to the area's agricultural identity, providing essential irrigation to the surrounding fields. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section roads, such as H Rd and 744 Rd, which define the local geography and property boundaries.

Significant landmarks include Olson Field, reflecting the localized aviation or agricultural landing strips common in this region. To the south, the Moses Hill Lagoon offers a distinct natural break in the otherwise uniform terrain. The presence of Us-183 on the eastern edge provides a primary north-south transit corridor, connecting these remote agricultural holdings to larger regional hubs. This survey provides a clear view of the modern rural infrastructure and water management systems at work in central Nebraska.
