2014 Map of Dutch Creek

About this map

The Niobrara National Scenic River corridor defines the northern boundary of this Nebraska landscape, where the waters of the Niobrara River cut through the border of Keya Paha and Brown counties. This 2014 survey documents a rugged hydrologic system where multiple tributaries, including Plum Cr and Jewett Cr, feed into the main river channel from the surrounding tablelands. Further south, the terrain is marked by the sharp relief of Devils Gulch and the seasonal drainage patterns of Sand Draw, illustrating the erosional forces typical of this region. Transportation infrastructure is represented by the north-south transit of Us-183 and the route of Old Highway 7. Recreational and natural features such as the Keller Park Ponds and the winding course of Bone Cr provide specific points of interest for those studying the intersection of the state’s managed natural areas and its rural road network.
