2018 Map of Flat Top

About this map

Lance Cr and its numerous tributaries, including Middle Cr, Wyatte Cr, and Boggy Cr, define the drainage patterns of this high plains region in Niobrara County. The landscape is characterized by prominent elevation markers such as Flat Top and the Hamilton Hills in the west, which rise above the surrounding prairie. Infrastructure in this era remains largely rural and sparse, consisting of ranch-to-market roads like Coffey Rd, Nelson Rd, and V-S Hilltop Rd. For those interested in local water management and land use, the Miller Number 1 Reservoir stands as a significant man-made feature in the northern portion of the quadrangle. The map captures a section of the American West where traditional township and range divisions, such as t35n r66w, still dictate the organization of the vast open range.
