About this map

Palisade serves as the central hub of this Nebraska landscape, where the waters of Stinking Water Creek and Frenchman Creek meet. The geography of the early 2010s reveals an intricate system of water management, anchored by the Culbertson Canal winding through the terrain and several significant dams such as Culbertson Dam and Shackelford Dam. These structures support a series of reservoirs, including the Krotter-Schlager Reservoir and Prior Reservoir, which are vital to the local agricultural economy.

For those researching family history in the area, the map precisely locates both the Palisade Cemetery and the Old Palisade Cemetery, providing clear context for local lineage. The township's layout is defined by streets like S Main St and 3rd St, with the Palisade Post Office marking the community center. Further south, the landscape transitions into a series of named breaks including Rodgers Canyon, Fish Canyon, and Beauvais Canyon, illustrating the varied topography of this section of the Great Plains.
