2017 Map of Ragan

About this map

Ragan serves as the primary hub of this south-central Nebraska landscape, where the town's grid is defined by Decker Ave, Cross Ave, and Alda St. The surrounding terrain transitions from the upland plains of Phelps and Harlan Counties into the dissected drainages of Turkey Creek and Rope Creek. A notable hydrologic feature in the north is the Richardson Lagoon, a shallow basin typical of the region's playa wetlands. Agricultural land use dominates the survey, organized by a rigid network of section-line roads such as Ragan-Huntley Rd and Ridge Rd. For those tracing local heritage, the Antelope Cem stands in the eastern portion of the map, providing a specific point of reference for early settlement history in this prairie environment.
