2014 Map of Jeffrey Reservoir NE

About this map

The Platte River valley dominates this Lincoln County landscape, showing a complex network of agricultural irrigation and water management infrastructure. The Gothenburg Diversion Dam Reservoir feeds into the Gothenburg Canal, while the Thirtymile Canal and Tri County Supply Canal carve through the terrain to support local farming. To the south, the topography shifts dramatically from the river bottom into a series of deep cuts including Jeffrey Canyon, Gulch Canyon, and Gilman Canyon. For genealogists and local historians, the Gastin Cem stands as a quiet marker of early settlement north of the canyon breaks. The small community of Vroman sits along the rail and road corridor of Us-30, paralleling the river. This survey captures the vital relationship between the Platte’s waters and the cultivated lands of the Nebraska plains.
