About this map

Franklin serves as the focal point of this Nebraska landscape, situated just north of the wide Republican River valley. The town's grid is clearly defined, featuring the Po and the Greenwood Cem located on its northern outskirts. The region's agricultural dependency is visible through an extensive irrigation network, including the Franklin Canal and the Franklin S Side Pump Canal, which draw from the river to support the surrounding fields.

South of the river, the terrain transitions into a more dissected upland area marked by prominent features like Lookout Mtn. This southern section, crossing the border into Kansas, is dotted with numerous drainage systems such as Calumet Cr, Reams Cr, and Lovely Cr. Local water management is further evidenced by several upland impoundments, specifically Copley Reservoir, Monie Reservoir, and Smidt Reservoir, which illustrate the modern infrastructure of this rural borderland.
