About this map

Sacramento Creek meanders through the central and southern reaches of this landscape, reflecting the agricultural character of Phelps County in the early 21st century. The map centers on the eastern portion of Holdrege, capturing essential community landmarks such as the Phelps County Fairgrounds, the Holdrege Post Office, and Holdrege City Campground. This record shows a highly organized grid of rural roads and irrigation infrastructure, notably the Phelps County Canal which supports the local farming economy.

Two significant burial sites, Bethel Cemetery and Prairie Cemetery, offer valuable data for genealogists tracing local families. To the east, the small settlement of Funk stands at a rail and road junction, while the community of Sacramento sits further south along the creek that shares its name. Aviation history is also marked here with Brewster Field and Wells Airport, illustrating the transport and utility network connecting these Plains settlements.
