2018 Map of Keeline

About this map

Keeline serves as the primary point of settlement in this landscape of Niobrara County, situated along the southern edge of the survey. The topography is defined by distinct landmarks such as the Harney Hills and Butler Hills, while the prominent geological formation at Chimney Rock provides a clear orientation point for the surrounding plains. To the north, the terrain is carved by the Little Lightning Cr and the drainage of Lance Cr, leading toward the Lance Cr Number 2 Reservoir. A network of rural routes, including the historically evocative Spanish Diggings Rd and Windmill Rd, suggests a region deeply tied to ranching and local resource extraction. The presence of named features like Golden Draw and Sothman Draw underscores the importance of watershed geography in this high-plains environment.
