About this map

The Niobrara River carves a deep path across this high plains landscape at the border of Dawes and Box Butte Counties. This 1947 topography reveals an area defined by agricultural water management and sparse upland settlements, characterized by the winding routes of the Mirage Flats Canal and the Potmesil Canal. Notable for its scientific and local history, the map identifies the Fossil Beds in the southwest and the Kattn Cem to the east.
