1986 Map of Holdrege
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
Phelps County Canal and the extensive irrigation network define this agricultural landscape during the mid-1980s. The region is characterized by a high concentration of conservation lands, including the Sacramento-Wilcox State Wildlife Management Area and various National Waterfowl Production Areas like Atlanta Marsh. The Republican River cuts through the southern portion of the sheet, feeding into the large expanse of Harlan County Lake near Alma. This waterway system, coupled with the Burlington Northern railroad lines connecting towns like Holdrege, Oxford, and Arapahoe, highlights the historical interdependence of rail transport and river-based resources. Genealogists may find interest in the Prairie Home Cem north of the river, while the transition from the Republican valley to the upland Elk Ridge provides a clear view of the diverse prairie terrain.
