2017 Map of Morrill

About this map

Morrill stands as the primary hub of this Western Nebraska landscape, where the North Platte River and an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure dictate the layout of the land. In the early 21st century, the persistence of the region’s agricultural roots is evident in the extensive canal systems, including the Tri-State Canal, Mitchell and Gering Canal, and Ramshorn Canal, which branch out across the valley. These waterways support established settlements like South Morrill and Dutch Flats, as well as small localities such as Joyce and Hartman. The terrain is punctuated by significant landmarks like Bald Peak in the south and the quiet grounds of Forest Lawn Cem and Caldwell Cem. This detailed record shows how historical township lines and a rigid grid of county roads, such as Co RD F and Co RD B, have shaped the modern development of Scotts Bluff County.
