About this map

The Keya Paha River winds through this borderland between Nebraska and South Dakota, anchoring a landscape defined by small-scale irrigation and cattle ranching. The small community of Brocksburg sits at the junction of Highway 137 and Keya Paha River, serving as a central point for the surrounding rural sections. Further north, the settlement of Jamison lies right against the South Dakota state line, characterized by its proximity to Emmanuel Cem and the Spotted Tail Cr drainage.

A network of private water management is visible through numerous named catchments, including Hitchcock Reservoir, Beck Reservoir, and Peterson Reservoir. These water sources, along with the various creeks like Dry Run Cr and Alkali Cr, supported the agricultural life of Keya Paha Co in the early 21st century. Genealogists can find localized historical markers such as Spotted Tail Cem and Burkinshaw Field, which reflect the long-standing family ties and aviation needs of this remote plains region.
