2011 Map of Indianola

About this map

Indianola serves as the primary hub of this Red Willow County landscape, situated where the Republican River and its tributaries define the regional geography. The settlement's civic and social history is grounded by the Indianola Post Office and local burial sites including Indianola Cemetery and Saint Catherine Cemetery. The map reveals a complex irrigation and water management network vital to the plains economy, evidenced by the Red Willow Canal and the Red Willow Canal Rd. To the south and east, a series of private reservoirs and dams—such as Sughrone Reservoir Number 2, Schaffert Reservoir, and Quigley Reservoir—illustrate how the drainage basins of Buffalo Creek and Berger Creek have been modified to support agriculture. Further west, the smaller settlement of Red Willow marks the confluence of Red Willow Creek and the river valley.
