About this map

Antelope Peak stands as a prominent high point in this 2014 landscape of northern Nebraska, overseeing a complex network of erosional drainages and water features. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of named canyons, such as Bill White Canyon, Horsethief Canyons, and Broyer Canyon, which reveal the deep dissection of the local plateau by wind and water over time.

Plum Cr and Deep Cr provide the primary drainage for this area, which also includes the notable Pine Canyon Reservoir and the striking White Cliffs. The abundance of family-named canyons like Hurlbut Canyon and Lessig Canyon suggests a history of local land use and ranching identification in Brown County. The map details the transition from high, flat uplands into these winding canyon systems, providing a clear view of the unique geography near the Niobrara river valley.
