About this map

The North Loup River valley defines the character of this Nebraska landscape, where the city of Ord serves as a hub for local agriculture and transport. The map highlights a complex network of irrigation and water management, including the Taylor-Ord Canal, Hardenbrook Diversion Reservoir, and the Ord-North Loup Canal. These features illustrate the region's historical reliance on river-fed systems to support the surrounding plains.

North of the main town center, Evelyn Sharp Field and the Ord Cem provide key landmarks for those tracing local history or genealogy. The terrain transitions from the river bottom at Anderson Island to the dissected hills and drainages of Dane Cr and N Br Mira Cr. To the east, the small settlement of Saunders sits near the river's edge, marking a distinct point of development away from the primary municipal grid of Ord.
