About this map

Red Willow Creek carves a winding path through this western Nebraska landscape, serving as the primary hydrological artery for the region during the early 1970s. The map illustrates a sophisticated local water management system, anchored by the Red Willow Creek Diversion Dam and the Culbertson Extension Canal, which utilized a series of siphons to move water across the dissected terrain. These engineering features underscore the critical importance of irrigation to the agricultural viability of the townships.
