2011 Map of Inavale

About this map

The settlement of Inavale serves as the focal point of this agricultural landscape in southern Nebraska, where the Inavale Post Office remains a central landmark. The geography is defined by the braided path of the Republican River, which flows eastward, joined by numerous tributaries including Walnut Creek and Spring Creek. Human management of this water-rich environment is evident through the presence of the Franklin Canal in the northern portion of the quadrangle and the Talkington Reservoir, held by the Talkington Dam to the south. Local history is anchored at the Walnut Creek Cemetery, which sits along the creek's winding path south of the main town. The survey illustrates the systematic grid of rural roads and the reliance on irrigation and drainage systems that support the regional farming economy.
