1971 Map of Sutherland Reservoir West

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Sutherland Reservoir dominates the northeastern landscape of this Lincoln County survey, showcasing the essential water management infrastructure of western Nebraska in the early 1970s. The artificial lake is held by a prominent Levee and serves as a focal point for both utility and recreation, adjacent to the Sutherland Reservoir State Park. Flowing westward from the reservoir, the Sutherland Canal cuts across the center of the sheet, providing a vital artery for irrigation and power. The map details the technical operations of the era, including a Gaging Station and multiple communication points like the Radio Tower (ETV). Outside the developed reservoir area, the terrain is defined by numerous Wells and the county boundary between Keith Co and Lincoln Co, reflecting a rural landscape shaped by agricultural necessity and the Tri-County Project's hydrological legacy.
