2014 Map of Red Cloud

About this map

The Republican River flows through this borderland region where the southern edge of Nebraska meets Kansas. The town of Red Cloud serves as a central hub, organized along a traditional grid with streets such as N Webster St and W 4th Ave intersected by major thoroughfares Us-136 and Us-281. The surrounding landscape is defined by its agricultural and water management systems, notably the Franklin Canal and several local water bodies including Twin Oaks Reservoir and Sibert Reservoir. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural burial grounds like Mt Pleasant Cem, Murphy Cem, and Gust Cem, which are scattered across the terrain. The presence of the Red Cloud Municipal Airport and a network of section-line roads, such as Road 800 and Road 1000, illustrates the modern logistical framework established in this historic prairie river valley.
