About this map

The Niobrara River carves a winding path through the Nebraska Sandhills in this 1994 topographic study, separating the higher tablelands of the Rosebud Indian Reservation to the north from the expansive Samuel R Mc Kelvie National Forest to the south. Small settlements like Cody, Merriman, and Eli follow the established transport corridor above the river, while the landscape below is dominated by an intricate network of valleys and flats, including Tombstone Valley and Connelly Flat.

Conservation and recreation sites are prominent landmarks across this landscape, from the Merritt Reservoir State Recreation Area in the southeast to the Cottonwood Lake State Recreation Area near Merriman. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching region where natural features like Eagle Point and numerous groundwater-fed bodies such as Schoolhouse Lake and Medicine Lake define the local geography.
