About this map

The South Platte River and its intricate network of waterways dominate this 2011 survey south of North Platte. The confluence area where the river joins the main Platte River is shaped by the Tri County Supply Canal and the Upper Diversion Dam, reflecting the region's heavy reliance on water management for agriculture and infrastructure. The landscape transitions from the river bottomlands at Brandy Island to the higher elevations of Moran Canyon in the southeast.

Local landmarks and rural infrastructure reveal the area's development, featuring the North Platte Regional Airport and the Iron Eagle Golf Course near the river. Genealogical and local history points of interest include the Mariam Cemetery and the descriptive District 31 School Rd, which preserve the locations of early community centers and rural homesteads amidst the grid of country roads like S Old Highway 83 Rd.
