2011 Map of Paxton North

About this map

The North Platte River flows through this portion of Keith County, Nebraska, defining a landscape shaped by early 21st-century water management and agriculture. The settlement of Sarben sits centrally along the river corridor, while a corner of Paxton is visible in the southwestern section. The area's reliance on irrigation is evident through a complex network of man-made waterways, including the Sheridan Wilson Canal, the Keith Lincoln Canal, and the larger Sutherland Canal. These features illustrate the technical effort required to sustain the region's agricultural economy. Local infrastructure is further detailed with landmarks like McConnell Field and a grid of rural routes such as Keystone Sarben N Rd. Natural drainages like East Clear Creek and Cedar Creek feed into the main river valley, completing the hydraulic profile of this High Plains environment.
