2021 Map of Buck Creek Hills

About this map

Buck Creek Hills define this corner of Niobrara County, where a complex network of dry draws and seasonal creek beds dictates the layout of the high plains. The landscape is characterized by its vital water management infrastructure, notably Johnson Number 1 Reservoir and Johnson Number 3 Reservoir, which serve as critical hubs in an otherwise arid environment. These reservoirs, along with Narrows Reservoir, indicate a history of land use focused on livestock and resource management.
