Nebraska's topography is
characterized by two major land regions: the Dissected Till Plains and the
Great Plains(Nebraska topographic map, elevation, terrain, ). The
Dissected Till Plains cover the eastern part of the state and are
characterized by rolling hills and fertile farmland. The Great Plains, which
cover the western part of the state, are much flatter and feature vast
grasslands and prairies. Major rivers in Nebraska include the Missouri,
Platte, Elkhorn, Loup, Republican, and Big Blue(Topographical Map - Nebraska
Topo Map, ). These waterways serve as important sources of irrigation
and transportation for the state's agricultural industry.

Nebraska's economy and industries

Agriculture and farming
are the backbone of Nebraska's economy, with the state being a major
producer of corn, soybeans, beef, and pork(Nebraska Interactive Map,
). The state's fertile soil, favorable climate, and abundant water
resources make it an ideal location for agricultural production. The
Nebraska Department of Natural Resources has created an interactive map
that provides detailed information on land use and crop
types(NebraskaMAP, ). The map depicts 25 separate land use classes,
with crops identified as either irrigated or dryland. This information
can help farmers and policymakers make informed decisions about land use
and resource management(Map Shows Nebraska Agricultural Land Use, ).
Additionally, the Nebraska GIS map compiles agricultural data, including
farmland values, soil productivity ratings, crop mix, and parcel
ownership information(Nebraska Farmland Values, Soil Survey & GIS Map,
). These resources demonstrate the importance of agriculture to
Nebraska's economy and provide valuable insights into the state's
agricultural landscape.
Manufacturing and industry are also significant contributors to
Nebraska's economy. The state has a diverse manufacturing sector, with a
focus on high-density manufacturing in certain counties(Manufacturing in
Nebraska, ). The Nebraska Manufacturing Data Dashboard provides a
snapshot of the state's manufacturing sector, including information on
employment, wages, and output(Nebraska Manufacturing Dashboard, ).
The Interactive Map of Regulated Facilities and Entities provides a
visual representation of regulated facilities and entities in the
state(Maps and Data - Nebraska DEE, ). Additionally, the Nebraska
Department of Labor provides information on average weekly wages for
manufacturing jobs in the state(NEworks - Industry Profile, ). These
resources illustrate the importance of manufacturing to Nebraska's
economy and provide valuable insights into the state's manufacturing
sector.

state has a wealth of outdoor recreation opportunities, including state
parks, wildlife areas, and hunting and fishing opportunities(Maps,

Commission provides an interactive atlas map that allows users to scout
out areas for hunting or fishing using aerial imagery(Public Access
Atlas, ). Additionally, the Northwest Nebraska area map provides a
complete listing of recreation areas, indoor and outdoor attractions,
public lands, and bodies of water(Area Maps and Trail Guide, ).
