2011 Map of Tar Valley SW

About this map

The braided channels of the North Platte River dominate the southern landscape of this Garden County region, illustrating the complex hydrology of Nebraska's Platte Valley. Paralleling the river's course, the Lisco Canal serves as a critical piece of agricultural infrastructure, diverted to manage water across the wide valley floor. The upland terrain to the north is defined by a sparse network of section-line roads, including Road 149 and Road 88, which navigate the open country above the river breaks. This 2011 survey captures the area's transition from the river's alluvial plain to the higher plains, showing how transportation routes like Road 82 follow the natural contours of the valley's edge.
