2011 Map of Red Cloud

About this map

The Republican River divides this South Central Nebraska landscape, where the town of Red Cloud serves as a primary hub of settlement and infrastructure. As a modern 2011 survey, it illustrates the critical role of water management in the region, featuring the irrigation-focused Franklin Canal and several water storage sites including Sibert Reservoir and Twin Oaks Reservoir. The town itself is well-defined, containing the Red Cloud Post Office and providing access to the Red Cloud Municipal Airport. Local genealogists will find several burial grounds across the rural terrain, including Red Cloud Cemetery, Murphy Cemetery, Mount Pleasant Cemetery, and Gust Cemetery. The map also traces various natural drainages like Indian Creek, Penny Creek, and Cedar Creek, which feed into the main river valley.
