2021 Map of Elyria

About this map

Elyria serves as the primary settlement in this portion of the North Loup River valley, situated along the Taylor-Ord Canal. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure and water management systems, including the Burwell-Sumter Canal and the Larsen-Schwartzlander Reservoir. These features highlight the region's agricultural reliance on the North Loup River, which transitions into a complex series of drainage basins such as Turtle Cr and its northern and southern branches. Outside the main townsite, the Elyria Cem provides a focal point for genealogical research, while landmarks like Fort Hartsuff Rd and Happy Jack Loop reflect the historical road patterns of Valley and Garfield Counties. The terrain reveals a distinct transition from the river lowlands to the more dissected upland breaks characterized by numerous named creeks like Bean Cr.
