About this map

The Niobrara National Scenic River defines the northern boundary of this landscape where the borders of Keya Paha and Brown Counties meet. The terrain is marked by a complex system of drainages and seasonal watercourses, including the deeply incised Devils Gulch and the winding path of Plum Creek. Further south, the map reveals the recreational and hydraulic features of Keller Park Ponds, situated near the confluence of Bone Creek and Sand Draw.

Transport patterns are shaped by the natural topography, with Old Hwy 7 following the high ground between the river breaks. This 2017 survey illustrates a sparsely populated ranching region where development is concentrated along these water corridors and historic road alignments like Dutch Creek. The map provides an essential view of the watershed dynamics before these prairie streams join the larger Niobrara system.
