2011 Map of Paxton South

About this map

South Platte River braids through the northern edge of this Keith County landscape, flanked by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure essential to High Plains agriculture. The South Platte River Supply Canal and Sutherland Canal dominate the hydrology south of the river, following the contours of the terrain to manage water across the agricultural grid. The village of Paxton serves as the local hub, situated near the Paxton Post Office and the Paxton Cemetery. Away from the river valley, the landscape is defined by a strictly organized system of section-line roads, including Paxton Elsie Rd and various numbered routes like Road E 40, which facilitate movement between scattered farmsteads and specialized sites like the Lierley Farms Airport.
