2017 Map of Ord NE

About this map

The Burwell-Sumter Canal cuts through the southwest corner of this landscape, reflecting the critical role of water management in the agricultural development of the Nebraska Sandhills region. This 2017 survey details the complex intersection of four counties — Garfield, Valley, Wheeler, and Greeley — where a grid of rural section roads like Amity Rd and 819th Rd overlay the natural drainages. Notable waterways including Elm Cr, Messenger Cr, and Spring Cr navigate the undulating topography, while Oak Canyon Rd follows the contours of the local terrain. The presence of Joint Loop at the northern boundary and the systematic road numbering suggest a landscape defined by ranching and irrigation infrastructure typical of the central Nebraska plains during the early twenty-first century.
