About this map

The Republican River valley defines the character of this Furnas County landscape, where agriculture is shaped by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure. The village of Holbrook serves as the central hub of the region, situated along the northern banks of the river and a primary transportation corridor. To the south and west, the terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts including Wild Horse Canyon and Smith Canyon, which contrast with the level plains of the river bottom.

Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the presence of the Cambridge Canal and Bartley Canal running parallel to the river. Further north, the landscape transitions into rolling uplands cut by Deer Cr and its namesake Deer Creek Canyon, supported by upland water storage such as Gross Reservoir Number 2 and Hilger Reservoir. This 2017 survey provides a clear view of the intersection between natural drainage and man-made water distribution in western Nebraska.
