2017 Map of Kearney SE

About this map

Phelps County Canal cuts through the southwestern corner of this landscape, representing the vital irrigation infrastructure of Nebraska's agricultural plains. This 2017 survey reveals a highly organized township and range system, where a precise grid of rural routes like Links Ridge Rd and lettered roads define the territory between the seasonal watercourses of Lost Cr and Dry Cr. The presence of the Cavanaugh Airport in the southeastern quadrant serves as a modern waypoint in an otherwise rural expanse, showing how aviation and mechanized farming have shaped the recent history of Kearney County. The terrain is characterized by subtle elevation shifts and the intricate drainage patterns of intermittent creeks that feed into the larger regional watershed.
