About this map

Jeffrey Reservoir dominates this central Nebraska landscape, its irregular shoreline reaching into the deeply eroded drainages of the loess hills. Fed by the Tri-County Supply Canal, the reservoir is a critical component of the regional irrigation and power infrastructure. The surrounding terrain is characterized by a dense network of canyons, most notably Snell Canyon and Conroy Canyon, which illustrate the complex geomorphology of Lincoln County.

A concentrated network of recreational paths appears in the southern portion of the sheet, including the Golden Nugget Loop Trl, Horse Shoe Canyon Trl, and Wicked Ridge Trl. These trails, along with historical markers like Fort McPherson Rd, reflect the intersection of early pioneer transit and modern outdoor use. To the north, Brady Island sits near the Platte River valley, connected to the uplands by local routes such as S Fletcher Rd and S Banner Rd.
