About this map

Dyer anchors the western edge of this landscape where the Nebraska sandhills transition toward the river breaks of the northern border. This area is defined by the deeply carved valley of the Niobrara River, which is designated here as the Niobrara National Scenic River. The topography shifts from the level uplands near Hay Valley Rd to the intricate network of canyons and bluffs feeding into the river. Water sources like Big Anne Spring and tributaries including Anne Cr, Rock Cr, and Coon Cr provide the primary drainage for the surrounding cattle country. The map also delineates the boundary between Keya Paha Co and Rock Co as it follows the path of the river, illustrating the natural border that has long shaped the political and social geography of this ranching region.
