About this map

Dakota Junction sits at the northern edge of this Nebraska landscape, where the White River and several creek systems converge. This 2011 survey illustrates the western expansion of Chadron, documenting the layout of residential areas and essential civic infrastructure including the Chadron Post Office and Chadron Municipal Airport. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it identifies three distinct burial grounds: Greenwood Cemetery, Calvary Cemetery, and the more rural Shisler Cemetery located south of the main settlement.

Water management is a central theme in this high-plains environment, evidenced by the Spring Creek Reservoir behind Spring Creek Dam, as well as the Mayfield Dam and Bartlett Reservoir. To the south, the terrain begins its ascent toward the Pine Ridge, a transition reflected in the winding paths of Dead Horse Creek and the West Fork Chadron Creek. The map provides a contemporary view of the region's transport network, from the bypasses of US-20 to local routes like Buttermilk Rd and Deadhorse Rd.
