2014 Map of Holbrook

About this map

Holbrook sits at the eastern edge of this landscape, where the local street grid including Norwich St and Ontario St meets the path of Us-34. This area of Furnas County is defined by the valley of the Republican River, a waterway flanked by significant irrigation infrastructure including the Cambridge Canal and Bartley Canal. These water-management features, along with upland reservoirs like Gross Reservoir Number 2 and Hilger Reservoir, reflect the agricultural dependency of the High Plains. The surrounding terrain is deeply incised by erosion, creating prominent features such as Deer Creek Canyon, Wild Horse Canyon, and Smith Canyon. These landforms dictate the winding routes of rural corridors like Road 724 and Road 413 as they navigate the breaks between the river valley and the higher prairie tablelands.
