About this map

The town of Morrill serves as the hub of this Nebraska landscape, where the high plains transition into a complex irrigation network supporting the regional agriculture. North of the North Platte River, the terrain is defined by an extensive system of man-made waterways, including the Tri-State Canal, Ramshorn Canal, and Lateral Number 10. These features illustrate the engineering required to cultivate the Dutch Flats area and the surrounding valley.

South of the river, South Morrill and the Mitchell and Gering Canal continue the pattern of water management, while the elevation rises toward Bald Peak at the southern edge of the survey. For those researching local history, the map preserves the locations of Forest Lawn Cem and Caldwell Cem, along with smaller named localities like Joyce and Hartman, providing a detailed look at the rural road network and settlement distribution in Scotts Bluff County.
