USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
The Platte River corridor defines the mid-1980s landscape of south-central Nebraska, serving as a vital artery for both natural resources and transcontinental transportation. The Union Pacific railroad and Interstate 80 parallel the river’s north bank, linking established agricultural centers like Lexington and Cozad to the regional hub of Kearney. This era shows a heavily managed hydraulic system, where the Gothenburg Canal and Phelps County Canal divert water to support the surrounding plains.
