2011 Map of Coburn Canyon

About this map

The Niobrara River carves a winding path through this portion of Cherry County, defining the local geography alongside its tributaries, Antelope Creek and Pole Creek. The map records a series of critical crossing points that facilitated travel through this sparsely settled landscape, including Hardin Bridge, Case Bridge, and Lavaca Bridge. Near the northern bend of the river, Lavaca Cemetery stands as a focal point for genealogical research, marking the location of an early community presence. The terrain is characterized by subtle but distinct landmarks such as Rock Hill and the eponymous Coburn Canyon. The sparse road network, featuring Pole Creek Rd, reflects the enduring rural character of this High Plains region in the early 21st century.
