About this map

The Phelps County Courthouse stands as a central landmark in the city of Holdrege, which occupies the western edge of this Phelps County landscape. As of 2021, the area reflects a deeply established agricultural and transit network, where the gridded streets of the city transition into expansive sections marked by rural landmarks like Brewster Field and the Phelps County Canal. Smaller settlements such as Funk to the east and Sacramento to the south define the outlying territory, connected by a structured system of county roads and rail lines.

Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, visible through the meandering Sacramento Cr and features like the Richardson Lagoon. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of rural burial grounds, including Prairie Home Cem near the city and Bethel Cem further east. These sites, alongside the legacy of the local irrigation systems, provide a clear view of the region's development and community infrastructure.
