About this map

Agricultural irrigation networks define this landscape on the Nebraska-Wyoming border, where the North Platte River flows past the Tri-State Diversion Dam. The village of Lyman sits at the heart of an extensive canal system, featuring the Mitchell and Gering Canal and the North Horse Creek Lateral. These man-made waterways support the high plains farms surrounding the Lyman Post Office and extending south toward the prominent Blue Bunch Ridge.

Topographic landmarks such as Rattlesnake Hill and Table Mountain rise above the drainage basins of Horse Creek and Kiowa Creek. Further north, the settlement of Henry borders the river near Little Moon Lake and the State Diversion Reservoir. The map illustrates a complex hydraulic environment where natural watercourses like Centennial Creek are interwoven with vital irrigation infrastructure such as the Farmers Canal and Packer Ditch, essential for the region's ranching and farming operations.
