About this map

McCook and its eastern environs are defined by a complex network of agricultural irrigation and the winding course of the Republican River. In the early 21st century, the landscape shows a clear transition from the urban grid of the city to the expansive rural fields of Red Willow County. The map documents critical infrastructure including the McCook Municipal Airport and recreational spaces like Heritage Hills Golf Course and Kelley Park.

Water management is the most striking feature of the area, with the Culbertson Extension Canal and the Meeker Extension Canal carving paths across the terrain to support local farming. Notable natural landmarks like the River Canyon and several tributaries including Brushy Creek and Kelley Creek intersect with rural routes such as Ravenswood Rd and Road 715. For genealogists, the location of Saint John Cemetery provides a specific point of interest on the eastern edge of the survey area.
