1956 Map of North Platte
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The Sand Hills of western Nebraska dominate this mid-century landscape, where the intricate drainage systems of the Middle Loup River and Dismal River carve through the grassland. The region's hydraulic engineering is on full display south of the hills, centered on the massive Lake C W McConaughy and a complex network of irrigation and power works including the Sutherland Canal and North Platte Canal. These waterways parallel the North Platte River and the South Platte River, forming a vital corridor for agriculture and transport.
