About this map

Irrigation infrastructure and water management define this portion of Scotts Bluff County, where the High Line Canal, Tri-State Canal, and Supply Canal weave through the landscape to support high plains agriculture. The presence of Lake Alice, Winters Creek Lake, and the western edge of Lake Minatare illustrates the critical role of reservoir storage in this arid environment. These water bodies, along with smaller features like Lake Alice Number Two, are connected by a network of drainage systems including the Dunham Andrews Drain and Alliance Drain.

Transportation and commerce center on the Western Nebraska Regional Airport/William B Heilig Field in the south, while small local settlements like James and Trout are situated along the rural road grid. The terrain is largely shaped by the winding path of Winters Cr, which flows through the central sections. Local history and genealogy researchers can use the detailed county road system, such as Highline Canal Rd and Camp Ground Rd, to locate ancestral farmsteads and agricultural holdings in the North Platte River valley.
