2017 Map of Nevens

About this map

North Platte River defines the central corridor of this Keith County landscape, flanked by an intricate network of irrigation and water management infrastructure. The settlement of Nevens sits just north of the river, positioned between the natural waterway and the engineered Keith Lincoln Canal and Sutherland Canal. These parallel channels reflect the region's historical reliance on intensive water diversion to support agriculture in the Nebraska panhandle. The terrain transition is marked by the braided appearance of the riverbed and numerous drainages like Duck Creek, Sand Creek, and Skunk Cr that feed into the valley from the north. The presence of Keystone Sarben N Rd highlights the rural connectivity of the area, linking the local ranching and farming operations that define the community's footprint near the river.
