About this map

The village of Sutherland serves as the focal point for this landscape where the North Platte River and South Platte River flow in close proximity. This corridor in Lincoln County is defined by an intricate network of water management, featuring several significant irrigation channels including the Paxton Hershey Canal, the North Platte Canal, and the Keith Lincoln Canal. These canals trace the natural contours of the Platte valley, supporting the agricultural economy of the Nebraska plains.

Local landmarks such as the Sutherland Post Office and Sutherland Cemetery provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research and community history. To the south, the Sutherland Reservoir and its associated Sutherland Dam mark a transition into recreational and utility land use, evidenced by the Sutherland Reservoir Campgrounds and the Oregon Trail Park Campground. Transport and logistics are represented by the Trego Airport and a grid of rural roads like W Sutherland Cemetery Rd and N Blackwood Rd.
