2017 Map of Ericson

About this map

Cedar River valley drainage dominates this portion of Wheeler County, where the village of Ericson serves as a local hub. The town's grid is clearly defined by historical street names such as W Depot St, Michigan Ave, and Ontario Ave, reflecting its development alongside water and transportation routes. Significant hydrological features include the wide Ericson Lake to the southeast and smaller bodies like Psotas Lake and Kruml Lake further upstream. The landscape is characterized by the convergence of Cedar Creek and Dry Cedar Cr, creating a complex network of waterways that has historically influenced land use in this Nebraska region. Aviation and ranching history is evidenced by the X1 Ranch Airport, situated west of the main river channel, providing a specific point of interest for local historians studying mid-century land improvements.
