2021 Map of North Platte West

About this map

The city of North Platte sits at the confluence of two major prairie waterways, dominated by the extensive rail yards and industrial corridors that define the town's geography. This modern survey illustrates the complex water management systems of the region, where the Birdwood Canal, North Platte Canal, and South Platte River provide the vital irrigation required for the surrounding Nebraska agricultural landscape. The map captures a high level of detail within the urban center, including the Lincoln County Courthouse and the sprawling rail network running parallel to West Front Street. On the western edge of the city, the legacy of the Old West is visible in road names such as Scouts Rest Ranch Road, while the north features landmarks like Hansen Reservoir and Lamplaugh Lake. Local history is further preserved through named sites such as the North Platte Cemetery and Orr Field.
