2021 Map of Dorsey

About this map

Dorsey and Knoxville anchor this rural landscape along the border of Holt and Knox counties, where the high plains meet the intricate drainage systems of the Niobrara valley. The northern edge of the map is defined by the protected waters of the Niobrara Wild and Scenic River and the Missouri National Recreation River, indicating the ecological importance of this riparian corridor. Farmland is dissected by numerous waterways, including Steel Cr and Pishel Cr, while local water management is evident at the Bartos Reservoir complex. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies three distinct burial grounds: the Pischelville National Cem near the river bluffs, the central Dorsey Cem, and Star Cem further south. The terrain is marked by significant features like Long Gulch and Revell Ponds, illustrating the varied topography that has shaped settlement patterns and road networks like 888th Rd.
