About this map

The Niobrara River winds across the southern portion of this Cherry County landscape, its meandering path defining the local drainage and topography. This area of Nebraska is characterized by expansive grazing lands and a sparse network of established ranching operations, reflecting the long-standing agricultural traditions of the Sandhills region. Along the northern boundaries, Arnot Ranch and the Seventy-one Bar Ranch occupy the terrain near Leander Creek, while further south, the Nielsen Ranch and Cobb Ranch sit closer to the river valley. The map provides a clear picture of the isolated road systems and water resources that sustain these large-scale holdings in a remote part of the state.
