2014 Map of Maxwell

About this map

The Platte River valley dominates this Lincoln County landscape, where the braided channels of the river divide the terrain into distinct landmarks like Brady Island and McCullough Island. The village of Maxwell serves as a primary hub along the northern bank, positioned near the junction of Us-30 and N Maxwell Rd. To the south, the engineering of the Tri-County Supply Canal cuts through the plains, eventually leading into the more complex topography of Box Elder Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon. These southern reaches are defined by sharper relief and water management features like Ross Reservoir. This 2014 survey documents a classic Nebraska transition from irrigated river-bottom agriculture to the dissected canyon lands, preserving the locations of local landmarks such as McCullough Cem and the settlement of Bignell.
