2021 Map of Paxton South

About this map

Paxton serves as the northern anchor for this landscape, where the South Platte River and its accompanying irrigation infrastructure define the regional character. The intricate network of the South Platte River Supply Canal and the Sutherland Canal illustrates the intensive water management required for Nebraska agriculture. Just south of the town, the Paxton Cem provides a focal point for genealogical research, while the presence of the Lierley Farms Airport highlights the rural aviation needs of the area's farming community. The map is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and rural routes, such as Paxton Elsie Rd and Rd East 70, which partition the undulating terrain. This 2021 survey also documents the convergence of several county boundaries, where the corners of Keith, Lincoln, and Perkins Counties meet in the sandhills region.
