2014 Map of Orleans

About this map

Orleans occupies the southern reach of this Nebraska landscape, situated just north of the Republican River in Harlan County. The town's grid is well-defined by a network of local streets such as E Linn St and E Maple St, while Calvary Cem sits on the northern edge of the settlement. The surrounding terrain is characterized by a series of north-south drainage systems including Milrose Cr, Flag Cr, and Rope Cr, which cut through the agricultural uplands. Water management is a central theme here, evidenced by the Cambridge Canal and several small catchments like Einspahr Reservoir, Flashnick Reservoir, and Richards Reservoir. These features reflect the region's reliance on the Republican River basin for local irrigation and infrastructure during the early 21st century.
