About this map

Dorsey and Knoxville anchor this rural landscape along the boundary of Holt and Knox counties in northern Nebraska. The terrain is deeply defined by the drainage systems of Steel Creek and Pishel Creek, which flow toward the Niobrara River at the northern edge of the map. This river corridor is protected as the Missouri National Recreation River, a designation that preserves the character of the waterway.

Genealogists will find several distinct burial sites including Dorsey Cemetery, Star Cemetery, and the National Cemetery located on the eastern edge. Local land use is characterized by water management features such as Bartos Reservoir and Bartos Reservoir Number 2, alongside the winding path of Long Gulch. The road network follows the section lines typical of the Public Land Survey System, providing access to these remote rural townships.
