About this map

Agricultural irrigation and a rural transport grid define this part of the Nebraska landscape, where the Phelps County Canal cuts across the southern portion of the territory. This vital waterway supports the surrounding farmsteads that are organized by a strict geometric road system, including Links Ridge Rd and a series of numbered routes such as 25 Rd. Natural drainage follows the meandering paths of Lost Cr and Dry Cr, which contrast with the engineered lines of the canal. In the southeast, the Cavanaugh Airport serves as a distinct landmark for local aviation, while the northern reaches are marked by the headwaters of Crooked Cr. This survey illustrates the mid-2010s balance between the region's natural hydrography and the infrastructure necessary for modern prairie life.
