2015 Map of Elkhart NE

About this map

Cimarron National Grassland dominates this corner of Morton County, preserving a landscape defined by its high plains hydrology and traditional grazing lands. The Cimarron River and the N Fork Cimarron River create the primary geographical relief, carving paths through the terrain where several long-standing grazing areas are identified. Named tracts like Yoder Pasture, Mills Pasture, Eightyone Pasture, and Pasture Number Sixteen point to the area's agricultural heritage and organized land management. A network of primitive routes and trails, including the Companion Trail, Cimarron River Trail, and W Turkey Trail, crisscross the grasslands, following the natural contours of the river valleys and providing access to these expansive public lands. This 2015 survey reflects a modern era of conservation where the open range is managed for both environmental protection and limited recreation.
