2011 Map of North Loup

About this map

North Loup serves as the primary hub of this Valley County landscape, where the town's grid is anchored by the North Loup Post Office and bordered by the winding path of Mira Creek. The map documents a sophisticated irrigation and water management system essential to the region's agricultural character, featuring the extensive Ord North Loup Canal which cuts across the terrain. To the southeast, the substantial Davis Creek Reservoir dominates the drainage of Davis Creek, reflecting 21st-century water storage infrastructure. Local history is etched into the land at the Hillside Cemetery and the specific site of Hickman Dam Number 1. The terrain is defined by the dendritic patterns of the North Branch Mira Creek and South Branch Mira Creek, showing the natural watercourses that shaped early settlement patterns before modern engineering introduced the canal systems.
