2014 Map of Indianola

About this map

Indianola and the small settlement of Red Willow sit at the northern edge of this Red Willow County landscape, where the Republican River valley dictates the local geography and infrastructure. The area is defined by an extensive irrigation network, including the Red Willow Canal and Bartley Canal, which divert water to support the agricultural economy of the plains. Further south, the terrain becomes more complex as numerous drainages like Ash Cr, Buffalo Cr, and Berger Cr carve through the land, feeding several private and agricultural water bodies such as Sughrone Reservoir Number 2 and Schaffert Reservoir. For genealogists and local historians, the cluster of burial sites near the main townsite is significant, featuring Indianola Cem, Cedar Grove Cem, and Saint Catherine Cem. These locations, along with the grid-based road network of Road 719 and Road 392, provide a clear picture of rural Nebraska land use and communal heritage.
