2021 Map of Lake Alice

About this map

Lake Alice and Lake Minatare anchor a highly engineered hydraulic landscape in the Nebraska panhandle, where a complex network of man-made waterways supports the region's agricultural economy. This 2021 survey illustrates how the high plains are transformed by systems like the High Line Canal, Supply Canal, and the Tri-State Canal, which route water across the terrain to create vital reservoirs. These features are interspersed with drainage structures such as the Dunham Andrews Drain and Alliance Drain, indicating the intensive water management required for this arid environment.
