About this map

The High Plains landscape of Sioux County meets the borders of Box Butte and Scotts Bluff counties in this early 1980s topographic study. The area is characterized by a sparse settlement pattern of established family holdings, including the R Henderson Ranch, J Henderson Ranch, and Nerud Ranch. These ranching operations are situated near vital water sources such as Mud Springs Creek and the South Branch Snake Creek in the northeast.

A Gravel Pit near the Sioux and Box Butte line and a prominent Radio Tower serve as the few industrial and modern landmarks in this rural expanse. The map also identifies the Denton Ranch and a nearby survey point noted as Denton Az., providing specific locations for genealogists and local historians tracing land use and family history in this portion of the Nebraska panhandle before later development.
