About this map

The Niobrara National Scenic River and the Niobrara Wild and Scenic River course through this northern Nebraska landscape, marking the confluence of several vital waterways including Long Pine Creek and Bone Creek. This modern survey illustrates the rugged drainage systems that define the region, most notably Devils Canyon, which cuts through the high plains south of the river valley.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the placement of several small, family-associated burial grounds, such as Leonard Cem and Huishizer Cem, which overlook the river valley from the surrounding bluffs. The map also identifies local infrastructure like the McLain Bridge and rural routes such as Mullen Rd, providing a clear view of how these remote plateaus are accessed and partitioned between Brown, Keya Paha, and Rock counties.
