2014 Map of Sutherland Reservoir West

About this map

The western reaches of the Sutherland Reservoir dominate the northeastern corner of this Lincoln County landscape, showing the complex water management systems of central Nebraska. The Sutherland Canal cuts a distinct path across the northern terrain, feeding the reservoir and illustrating the infrastructure required for regional irrigation and power. The surrounding area is defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads, many bearing family names that provide a valuable record for local genealogists and land-use researchers.
