2011 Map of Dutch Creek

About this map

The Niobrara River carves a path through the northern landscape of Keya Paha County, Nebraska, where several major tributaries converge. This 2011 survey reveals a transition from the river valley into the high plains, punctuated by deep drainage features like Devils Gulch and Sand Draw. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching and recreation area, highlighted by the Keller Park Ponds and the winding course of Bone Creek. Transport across this terrain is anchored by the presence of Old Hwy 7, reflecting the enduring road networks that connect these remote northern Nebraska watersheds. The confluence of Plum Creek and Jewett Creek with the larger river system highlights the critical role of water in the local geography and ecology.
