About this map

The Republican River serves as the central artery for this Western Nebraska landscape, where the town of McCook sits at the intersection of Us-34 and Us-83. The map reveals a complex water management system essential to the region's agricultural life, including the Meeker Canal, Driftwood Canal, and Meeker Extension Canal winding through the terrain. These man-made features parallel natural drainages like Driftwood Creek and Spring Creek, illustrating the extensive irrigation infrastructure developed in Red Willow County.

Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by the presence of Calvary Cemetery and Memorial Park Cemetery on the northwestern edge of the main settlement. Further west, the small community of Perry is situated along the highway and rail corridor. The map also documents the transition from older routes to modern thoroughfares, preserving the path of Old Highway 6 alongside contemporary residential and industrial developments like Club House Drive and Federal Avenue.
