2021 Map of Dutch Creek

About this map

Niobrara River serves as the dominant hydrological feature of this Brown County landscape, cutting a deep valley through the Nebraska Sandhills. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Plum Cr and Jewett Cr, which feed into the main river channel from the surrounding tablelands. This 2021 survey documents the contemporary boundaries of public and private lands along the river corridor, highlighting the significant elevation changes between the plateau surfaces and the canyon floor. The map illustrates the sparse infrastructure characteristic of the region, where roads primarily follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System or navigate the more accessible ridge tops above the winding creek beds.
