2017 Map of McCook SW

About this map

Dry Cr and its complex system of managed water resources dominate the landscape of Red Willow County, Nebraska, near the border with Kansas. This 2017 survey details a network of engineered water storage sites including Dry Cr South Reservoir 1-A and Dry Cr South Reservoir 3-A, illustrating the critical role of water management in this agricultural region. The terrain is defined by deeply cut drainages such as Cottonwood Canyon and Plum Canyon, while the presence of the Driftwood Canal in the northwest corner highlights the infrastructure necessary for irrigation and drainage in the High Plains. The map's grid of rural roads, including RD 709 and RD 383, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, providing a clear view of the modern land divisions and access points across the rolling topography.
