About this map

Catalpa stands near the confluence of local drainages in this northern Nebraska landscape, where the Niobrara River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Boyd and Holt counties. The terrain is defined by the erosion patterns of Brush Creek and Spring Creek, which feed north toward the river valley. To the southwest, the Schwindt Reservoir provides a localized water source, while the north-south alignment of 483rd Ave and 484th Ave highlights the structured section-line road system of the Great Plains. This 2014 survey documents the enduring rural character of the region, showing how contemporary land use remains tied to the primary watercourses like Turkey Creek and the broader Niobrara basin.
