2021 Map of Gothenburg

About this map

Gothenburg serves as the focal point of this Platte River valley landscape, where a sophisticated network of early irrigation and power canals defines the local geography. The Gothenburg Canal, Cozad Canal, and Thirtymile Canal parallel the braided channels of the Platte River, illustrating the intensive water management required for Nebraska's agricultural heartland. To the south, the Tri-County Supply Canal skirts the edge of Tree Canyon, while the northern reaches of the map transition into the rolling terrain of Wild Horse Valley.
