2014 Map of Ord NE

About this map

The Burwell-Sumter Canal winds through this Nebraska landscape, illustrating the critical role of water management in the Sandhills region. This area, where Garfield, Valley, Wheeler, and Greeley counties converge, is defined by a network of seasonal and perennial drainages including Elm Cr and Spring Cr. The terrain is navigated by a grid of rural routes such as Oak Canyon Rd and Amity Rd, reflecting the sparse but organized settlement pattern of the early 21st century. The map provides a detailed view of the complex topography where Messenger Cr and various unnamed draws shape the local ranching and agricultural environment. This survey captures the essential infrastructure of the high plains, from the Joint Loop to the transition between diverse county jurisdictions.
