2017 Map of Gothenburg SE

About this map

Cozad sits at the northern edge of this Dawson County landscape, where the agricultural plains of Nebraska meet a complex network of water management systems. The Platte River and its North Channel dominate the upper portion of the map, while an extensive system of irrigation and supply infrastructure, including the Orchard Alfalfa Canal, Thirtymile Canal, and the Tri-County Supply Canal, illustrates the region's reliance on water engineering. South of the river valley, the terrain becomes more varied as it moves toward the canyon lands. Here, the landscape features several significant water bodies such as West Midway Lake, Central Midway Lake, and E Midway Lake, which are carved into the area surrounding Midway Canyon. For those researching local history or genealogy, the Pleasant View Cem and the layout of rural roads like RD 759 and RD 754 provide essential landmarks for tracing family landholdings and community development outside the main settlement.
