2021 Map of Ord

About this map

The Valley County Courthouse stands at the center of Ord, a community defined by its proximity to the North Loup River and its intricate network of irrigation channels. This 2021 survey shows a landscape where water management is vital to local survival, evidenced by the Taylor-Ord Canal and the Ord-North Loup Canal which navigate the terrain alongside the river's path. To the north, Evelyn Sharp Field serves the region, while the Ord Cem and various residential grids like Valley View Dr trace the town's expansion over time. The topography transitions from the flat river bottom containing Anderson Island to the dissected hills and draws drained by Dane Cr and N Br Mira. Further east, the settlement of Saunders marks a distinct point along the river valley road network.
