2017 Map of Bristow

About this map

Bristow sits at the heart of this landscape, anchored by its village streets like Depot St and Park St. The town's proximity to Ponca Creek highlights a history of settlement along the waterways of northern Nebraska. To the south, the terrain descends toward the Niobrara River, where the Boyd Co and Holt Co boundary line follows the river's winding path. This area reveals a transition from the agricultural grid of the northern sections to the more complex hydrology of the south, including the small Schaaf Reservoir and the meandering Eagle Creek. Genealogists and local historians can locate established burial grounds such as Bristow Cem and the Mission Cemetery, which serve as permanent records of the early families who inhabited this portion of Paddock and the surrounding countryside.
