About this map

Ogallala sits at the southern edge of this landscape, positioned between the North Platte River and the South Platte River. The town's layout includes several residential streets and the notable Boot Hill Cem, a site deeply connected to the community's early history and western heritage. To the west lies the Ogallala Cem, while the town's northern expansion is marked by neighborhoods such as Lago Villa.

The northern portion of the map is dominated by the massive water management system of Lake McConaughy and Ogallala Lake. The hydraulic engineering of the era is evident in the Sutherland Canal and the Spillway Bay outlet, which redirect river flows for regional irrigation and power. Significant recreational and natural areas like Martin Bay and the lands managed by Nebr Game and Parks surround the reservoir, while the smaller Cure Cr Reservoir 1-A serves local drainage needs south of the primary basin.
