About this map

The North Platte River and South Platte River converge toward each other in this portion of Lincoln County, defining a landscape dominated by sophisticated water management for Nebraska agriculture. The village of Sutherland sits in the eastern portion of the map, serving as a hub for the surrounding rural sections. The area is interlaced with an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure, including the Paxton Canal, Keith Lincoln Canal, N Platte Canal, and the Paxton Hershey Canal, alongside smaller features like Bull Ditch.

Genealogists will find the Sutherland Riverview Cem south of the village, near the northern edge of the Sutherland Reservoir. This 2021 survey shows how the historic settlement patterns remain tied to the river valleys, with roads like Sutherland Cemetary Rd and W North River Rd providing access to the fertile plains between the watercourses. The inclusion of Clear Cr and various township boundaries, such as t14n r33w, provides precise geographic context for land ownership research.
