2011 Map of Dorsey

About this map

Steel Creek and Pishel Creek carve their way through the Holt County landscape toward the Niobrara River in this 2011 topographic study. The rural settlement of Dorsey serves as a central point in an area defined by small-scale water management and historical burial grounds. Notable landmarks include the Bartos Reservoir Number 2 and Revell Ponds, reflecting a reliance on local dams to manage the drainage of Red Otter Creek across these northern plains. Genealogists will find several significant sites, specifically the Dorsey Cemetery near Long Gulch, the Star Cemetery to the south, and the National Cemetery located in the northeastern quadrant. The grid of rural roads, such as 512 Ave and 887 Rd, connects these scattered sites with the community of Knoxville, illustrating the persistent and sparse settlement patterns of the region.
