About this map

The Horseshoe Hills and Seventy-Seven Hills rise above the high plains of Niobrara County, where the headwaters of several drainages shape the open landscape. This 2017 survey shows a region defined by ranching and water management, featuring scattered springs like Middle Creek Spring and the Four-Hundred Acre Spring that support local livestock and wildlife. The southern portion of the map is traversed by Old US Hwy 20 and 4th Ave, providing access to the area's small settlements and rural landmarks.

Local history is preserved at the Jireh Cem, located near the intersection of N Jireh Rd and S Jireh Rd, serving as a reminder of the community's early 20th-century origins. In the east, the Niobrara River winds near Shelton Peak, while the northern reaches include the Lance Cr Number 2 Reservoir and the meandering Bills Cr, illustrating the vital role of water in this semi-arid Wyoming environment.
