2017 Map of Orleans

About this map

Orleans stands at the confluence of several vital water systems in Harlan County, situated along the northern banks of the Republican River. The town's grid is clearly defined by local streets such as E Linn St, E Maple St, and W Cedar St, reflecting a community centered around the river valley and regional transportation. To the north, the landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Milrose Cr, School Cr, and Flag Cr, which cut through the high plains toward the river. The agricultural infrastructure of the era is evident in the presence of the Cambridge Canal and several upland water storage features like Massey Reservoir and Einspahr Reservoir. Local heritage is anchored by the Calvary Cem, positioned just outside the main residential blocks.
