About this map

The village of Hardy anchors this Nebraska-Kansas border survey, situated near the southern edge of Nuckolls County. The landscape is defined by its agricultural water management, featuring a dense network of small privately-named reservoirs and dams. These include Simonsen Reservoir, Blackstone Reservoir, and Kaldahl Reservoir, each fed by the intermittent drainages of Crosby Creek and Forsha Creek. This rural infrastructure supports the local farming economy, while the Superior Canal cuts across the southwestern corner, further highlighting the region's reliance on irrigation systems.

Aviation and civic history are noted at the Meyers Freedom Flight Hardy Airport, located just north of the primary settlement. The town's layout remains compact, centered around the Hardy Post Office and Lowell St, which serves as a key local artery. The map provides a clear look at the rural property boundaries and water-control features that have shaped the plains near the state line in the early 21st century.
