About this map

The Platte River corridor dominates this section of Dawson County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and transport infrastructure. The northern portion of the map shows the proximity of Cozad, anchored by the Cozad Municipal Airport and the braided waters of the North Channel Platte River. This region illustrates the critical role of water management in Nebraska's agricultural history, evidenced by the paths of the Orchard Alfalfa Canal, Thirtymile Canal, and the Tri-County Supply Canal. As the terrain moves south of the river valley, the flat plains give way to more complex topography near Midway Canyon and West Midway Lake. For those researching local heritage, the Pleasant View Cem stands as a quiet marker of the community's generational ties to this fertile river valley.
