2017 Map of North Loup

About this map

North Loup serves as the primary hub of this Central Nebraska landscape, where the grid of rural roads meets the winding path of the North Loup River valley. The village itself is intricately mapped, showing the transition from town lots to the expansive agricultural sections that define Valley County. Water management is a central theme of the terrain, visible through the engineered Ord-North Loup Canal which cuts across the drainage of Mira Cr. This irrigation infrastructure illustrates the region's long-standing reliance on diverted water to support its farming economy. The map also traces the natural hydrology of the uplands, including the N Br Mira Cr and S Br Mira Cr, which carve through the loess hills as they flow toward the main valley floor.
