2014 Map of Butte NW

About this map

The Niobrara River carves a deep valley across the southern portion of this landscape, marking the significant geological boundary between Boyd and Holt counties. To the north, the terrain is defined by the winding course of Ponca Cr and the confluence of the Keya Paha River near the border with South Dakota. This 2014 survey reveals an agricultural and ranching landscape organized by a rigorous grid of section roads, such as 481st Ave and 908th Rd. Man-made water management is evident in features like Mohr Reservoir and Reiman Reservoir, which support the local watershed. The presence of Dizzy Cr and Glacier Rd further highlights the local naming conventions of this rural Nebraska-South Dakota borderland, where state lines intersect with Gregory and Boyd counties.
