About this map

The North Platte River and South Platte River define this Nebraska landscape as they converge toward the east, creating a corridor of complex irrigation and transport infrastructure. The 2011 geography shows how the region’s agricultural vitality is sustained by an intricate network of man-made waterways, including the North Platte Canal, Suburban Canal, Birdwood Canal, and Paxton Hershey Canal. These systems trace the contours between the rivers, supporting the small hubs of Sutherland and Hershey.

Evidence of the area's pioneer roots is visible in W Oregon Trail Rd, which runs south of the Fremont Slough and East Sutherland Lake. The map details local landmarks like the Riverside Cemetery, George Airport, and the Hershey Post Office. This survey provides a precise look at the transition from the rugged waters of Birdwood Creek to the organized grid of county roads like N Prairie Trace Rd and N Birdwood Rd that parcel the surrounding plains.
