About this map

Evelyn Sharp Field serves as a prominent landmark in this section of the Loup River valley, situated just north of the county line between Garfield Co and Valley Co. The landscape is defined by the braided path of the North Loup River, which is flanked by an intricate irrigation system including the Burwell-Sumter Canal and the Taylor-Ord Canal. These waterways underscore the region's agricultural foundations, carving through the terrain alongside several smaller tributaries like Haskell Cr, Turtle Cr, and Gravel Cr. To the west, the Oldfather Reservoir provides a concentrated water feature amidst the loess hills, while the North Loup River Trl follows the river's course, offering a contemporary layer of transit over this traditional Nebraska farming landscape.
