2011 Map of Maxwell

About this map

Fort McPherson National Cemetery stands as a significant landmark on the south side of the Platte River valley, anchoring this landscape of Nebraska prairie and irrigated farmland. The town of Maxwell is situated on the north bank, where the Maxwell Post Office and local streets like E 1st St define the settlement. The map reveals an intricate hydraulic system dominated by the Tri County Supply Canal, which winds through the terrain and feeds into several structures including the Earth Dam-Canal Mile 95 Dam and Ross Reservoir. Further south, the topography transitions into the deep cuts of Box Elder Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon. Small rural points of interest such as the McCullough Cemetery and the community of Bignell provide valuable reference points for those tracing local family lineages or studying the evolution of Lincoln County transportation and water management.
