2021 Map of Horn

About this map

The settlement of Horn serves as a focal point in this portion of the Nebraska High Plains, situated at the intersection of Cottonwood Rd and Dodd Rd. This area of the Oglala National Grassland is defined by its complex drainage systems and semi-arid landscape, where water management is critical to local land use. Water features such as the Dahlheimer Reservoir, Rock Bass Reservoir, and Big Cottonwood Allot 1 Reservoir highlight the region's reliance on captured runoff. The terrain is broken by notable landmarks including Benedict Buttes, Square Hill, and the Mike Kern Hills, providing significant relief against the draws and creek beds of Big Cottonwood Cr and Little Cottonwood Cr. This 2021 survey illustrates a sparse settlement pattern connected by named rural routes like Toadstool Rd and Lawrence Rd.
