About this map

Lake Maloney dominates the southern landscape of this Lincoln County survey, serving as a primary hydrological and recreational center just south of North Platte. The water system is intricately detailed, showing the South Platte River and its associated backwaters like Beer Slough and Fremont Slough, which are linked by an extensive network of man-made waterways including the Outlet Canal. These features illustrate the managed water environment of the Nebraska plains, where the flow of the river is diverted and channeled for local utility.

Institutional and memorial sites ground the local history, featuring the North Platte Community College - South and religious landmarks such as the Saint Patrick Catholic Cem. The reservoir itself contains several named islands, including Scout Island and Goose Island, providing clear landmarks for those studying the evolving shoreline. This map captures the modern interface between the growing southern edge of the city and the critical Platte River valley water infrastructure.
