2021 Map of Holbrook

About this map

Holbrook sits at the heart of this agricultural and water-management landscape, where the town grid is defined by streets like Norwich St and Ontario St. The valley is dominated by the Republican River, which flows across the southern half of the quadrangle, flanked by an extensive irrigation network including the Cambridge Canal and Bartley Canal. These man-made waterways illustrate the vital role of water engineering in the High Plains, carving through a landscape otherwise marked by natural drainages like Smith Canyon and Wild Horse Canyon. The northern reaches of the area contain elevated water storage features such as Gross Reservoir Number 2 and Hilger Reservoir, positioned near the borders where Furnas, Frontier, and Gosper counties meet. The confluence of Deer Creek and Timmons Creek into the main river valley further defines the local topography, supporting the farming operations that sustain this Nebraska community.
