2014 Map of Schuyler

About this map

Schuyler serves as the focal point of this region, situated just north of the Platte River where the landscape is defined by a complex network of agricultural drainage and natural waterways. The map illustrates an intricate system of water management including the Nieman Ditch, Shonka Ditch, and Barnholdt Ditch, which redirect water across the flat valley floor toward Shell Creek and Lost Creek. This engineering reflects the area's intensive agricultural character, while landmarks like Brewery Hill provide rare elevation in the otherwise level terrain. To the south, the village of Edholm sits near the crossing of the Colfax Co Butler Co line, amidst the shifting channels and sandbars of the river. Local history is anchored by sites such as Schuyler Cem and Holy Cross Cem, while Schuyler City Lake offers a distinct recreational feature within the city limits.
