1971 Map of Tar Valley SW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The North Platte River carves a wide path through this Nebraska landscape, serving as the central geographic feature of the 1971 survey. The river valley is defined by its complex irrigation network, including the active Lisco Canal and the legacy of the Belmont (Abandoned) Canal. This infrastructure highlights the historical necessity of water management for agriculture in the high plains. Running parallel to the river's northern bank, the Union Pacific tracks represent the vital transportation corridor that facilitated the movement of goods and people through the region. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Morrill Co and Garden Co, marking a transition point in the local governance of these rural Nebraska lands during the early 1970s.
