2014 Map of Agate NW

About this map

Niobrara River winds through the northeast corner of this Sioux County landscape, carving a distinct valley through the High Plains. This 2014 survey documents a sparsely populated ranching region where the terrain is primarily defined by intricate contour lines showing the ridges and draws of the Nebraska Panhandle. Human presence is marked by a grid of rural tracks, including Morrill Rd, Panhandle Rd, and Murphy Rd, which follow section lines across the open country. The map illustrates a modern snapshot of the Western Nebraska cattle country, focusing on the drainage patterns and the few improved routes that connect the isolated homesteads and ranch lands characteristic of the Agate NW quadrangle.
