2018 Map of Jewel Springs

About this map

Glendo Reservoir dominates this landscape where Converse, Platte, and Niobrara counties converge. The reservoir, formed by the impoundment of the N Platte River, features an intricate shoreline characterized by numerous inlets and bays, particularly around the Muddy Gap area. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Rattlesnake Ridge and Sentinel Rock to the depths of Morris Canyon. A network of unpaved roads and trails, such as Dune Trail and Narrows Bluff Trail, provides access to the remote back-country near Jewel Springs. The map also details smaller water features like Muddy Reservoir Number 1 and Buck Camp Spring, which are essential landmarks in this high-plains environment.
