2021 Map of McCook East

About this map

The city of McCook and the surrounding plains of Red Willow County are defined by a complex network of water management and river geography. The Republican River serves as the primary drainage through the center of the sheet, supplemented by the Culbertson Extension Canal and Meeker-Extension Canal, which demonstrate the regional reliance on irrigation infrastructure. To the north, the terrain transitions into the distinct River Canyon and the winding path of Red Willow Cr. The eastern edge of the city is anchored by McCook Community College and the McCook Ben Nelson Regional Airport, while the outlying rural landscape includes the Saint John Cem. This map details the intersection of urban development and the hydraulic engineering required to sustain agricultural life in the Nebraska panhandle, tracing various smaller tributaries like Kelley Cr, Brushy Cr, and Dry Cr across the township lines.
