About this map

Niobrara River winds across the high plains of northwest Nebraska, carving a shallow valley through the sandy tablelands at the intersection of Dawes, Sheridan, and Box Butte counties. This 1940s landscape is defined by the early development of water management, visible in the Irrigation Canal and numerous Windmills scattered across the township sections. These small-scale water improvements supported a sparse ranching economy where distances between landmarks were significant.
