2021 Map of Nevens

About this map

The North Platte River and South Platte River both cross this portion of Keith County, creating a landscape defined by Nebraska's vital water management systems. The central settlement of Nevens sits just north of the Platte's braided channels, serving as a landmark in a region dominated by intricate irrigation infrastructure. A complex network of waterways, including the Keith Lincoln Canal, the Sutherland Canal, and the Paxton Canal, illustrate the intensive engineering required to support agriculture in the Platte Valley. North of the river, the terrain transitions into the Sandhills, where ephemeral drainages like Sand Creek, Skunk Cr, and Duck Cr carve through the upland rises. This 2021 survey documents the persistent relationship between the river corridor's transport routes, such as Keystone Sarben N Rd, and the critical hydraulic systems that sustain the surrounding plains.
