2016 Map of Laird

About this map

The North Fork Republican River winds through this tri-state border region, carving a wide valley where the High Plains meet the Nebraska Sandhills. The settlement of Laird sits along the river's northern bank, supported by an irrigation network that includes the Laird Canal and Haigler Canal. These water systems highlight the agricultural dependency of the area, where the flat river bottom contrasts with the more dissected terrain to the south. Further east, the small community of Sanborn is situated along the primary transportation corridor through Dundy County.
