2014 Map of Lisco NW

About this map

The North Platte River flows through the northeastern corner of this Nebraska landscape, where the high plains meet the river valley. This 2014 survey captures a rural area defined by its tri-county intersection, where Morrill, Garden, and Cheyenne counties converge. The local infrastructure is oriented around the agricultural water needs of the region, specifically shown by the Belmont Canal which skirts the western hills to provide irrigation from the river. While the terrain is characterized by complex contouring and numerous intermittent drainages, the human footprint is marked by a strict section-line road grid, including Road 145 and Road 58. Genealogists may find interest in the Lisco Memorial Cem, located near the northern border, serving as a primary landmark for the sparse settlements in this corner of the state.
