2013 Map of Laird

About this map

The high plains of the tri-state border region converge in this survey, where the N Fork Republican River and Arikaree River define the local drainage patterns. Irrigation infrastructure is central to the landscape, evidenced by the Laird Canal and Haigler Canal that follow the contours of the river valley. The small settlement of Laird serves as a primary reference point in this agricultural corridor, situated near the intersection of several county roads and the winding path of Rush Creek. Genealogists and local historians will find the Hanshaw Cem located near the Colorado and Nebraska border, a significant landmark in a region where three states—Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas—meet. The map meticulously records the township and range system, including t001n r042w and t002n r042w, providing a clear framework for land ownership research.
