2011 Map of Nevens

About this map

The North Platte River creates a braided network of channels through this portion of Keith County, defining a landscape dominated by water management and ranching. The presence of the Keith Lincoln Canal and the Sutherland Canal running parallel to the river reflects the critical role of irrigation and hydropower infrastructure in this plains environment. To the north, the Buckhorn Springs Ranch sits near the headwaters of Skunk Creek and Duck Creek, while the settlement of Nevens is positioned where Lake Creek meets the river valley. In the southern portion of the sheet, the railroad and highway corridor near Korty follows the traditional path of transcontinental travel, bounded by the complex drainage patterns that feed into the Platte.
