2011 Map of Ord NW

About this map

North Loup River dominates this Garfield County landscape, meandering through a network of vital irrigation infrastructure that defines local agricultural life. The intricate routing of the Burwell Sumter Canal and the Taylor Ord Canal illustrates the managed water systems necessary for Nebraska prairie farming. Water management is further anchored by the Oldfather Dam, which creates the Oldfather Reservoir in the southwestern portion of the map. Several local watercourses, including Gravel Creek, Haskell Creek, and Turtle Creek, feed into the river system, while local transit is represented by rural corridors like Gravel Creek Rd and Haskell Creek Rd. This map captures the intersection of natural hydrology and man-made engineering in a dedicated farming region.
