2014 Map of Ericson

About this map

Ericson sits at the heart of this Wheeler County landscape, where the local street grid is defined by names like W Depot St, Huron Ave, and Michigan Ave. The town’s position is deeply tied to the Cedar River, which flows past the settlement and into Ericson Lake to the southeast. This area of Nebraska is characterized by a high density of water features and ranching infrastructure, including Kruml Lake and Psotas Lake in the north and central regions. The presence of the X1 Ranch Airport and the network of section-line roads like 491st Ave and 829th Rd underscore the expansive agricultural and aviation-dependent nature of the Sandhills region during this period. The intermittent flow of Dry Cedar Creek further illustrates the unique hydrology of the Platte River basin's northern tributaries.
