2017 Map of Horn

About this map

Horn sits at the southern edge of this landscape, positioned where the Little Cottonwood Cr drainage meets the local road network. The terrain is defined by the expanse of the Oglala National Grassland, a region characterized by dramatic landforms such as Benedict Buttes, Square Hill, and the Mike Kern Hills. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by a series of catchments including Moody Reservoir, Dahlheimer Reservoir, and Rock Bass Reservoir. These water sources are scattered across a network of seasonal draws and creeks like Big Cottonwood Cr and Sand Cr. The presence of established routes like Toadstool Rd and Cottonwood Rd indicates the enduring importance of ranching and land access in this portion of the Nebraska panhandle, spanning the boundary between Sioux County and Dawes County.
