2014 Map of Ravenna NW

About this map

The Middle Loup River valley in Sherman County is defined by its complex irrigation network and agricultural grid in this 2014 survey. Central to the landscape are Canal Number 3 and Canal Number 4, which cut across the natural drainage of tributaries like Wiggle Cr, Brown Cr, and Rock Cr. This sophisticated water management system supports the rural homesteads that line the section roads, including S River Rd and Highway 10. For those tracing local history or family heritage, the map identifies key landmarks such as Austin Cem and Verdurette Cem. The terrain south of the river shows the characteristic dissected hills of central Nebraska, where Beaver Cr winds through deep contours, illustrating the contrast between the flat, managed river bottomlands and the surrounding uplands.
