About this map

The Niobrara River carves a deep, winding path through the center of this Cherry County landscape, creating a distinct topographical contrast with the surrounding Sandhills. Along this river corridor, the Riemenschneider Bridge provides a critical crossing point for local transit through the river valley. To the south, the northern extent of the Samuel R McKelvie National Forest introduces a managed landscape of timber and grassland, while the northeast is marked by the steep descent of McCann Canyon. Water resources are sparse across the higher elevations, making localized features like Buckhorn Spring and the drainage of Dry Cr significant landmarks for understanding historical land use and cattle movement in this section of the Nebraska backcountry.
