2014 Map of Gothenburg

About this map

Gothenburg serves as the central hub of this Platte River valley landscape, defined by an intricate network of irrigation and power channels. The Platte River and its North Channel are flanked by numerous man-made waterways, including the Gothenburg Canal, Cozad Canal, Sixmile Canal, and the large-scale Tri-County Supply Canal. This sophisticated water management system supports the agricultural economy of the region, visible in the transition from the rugged terrain of Wild Horse Valley and Tree Canyon in the north and south to the leveled valley floor. For genealogists and local historians, several rural burial grounds are mapped across the quadrangle, such as Salem Cem, Christ Cem, and Peckham Cem. Significant local landmarks like Lake Helen and Quinn Field provide a detailed look at the town's recreational and civic footprint during this era of 21st-century development.
