2021 Map of Kirtley

About this map

Kirtley sits on the western edge of this High Plains landscape, where the state line divides the ranch lands of eastern Wyoming from the panhandle of Nebraska. This 2021 survey documents a region defined by its drainage systems and ridge lines, most notably the Pleasant Ridge which trends through the southern half of the quadrangle. Genealogists and local historians will find the Pleasant Ridge Pioneer Cem centrally located, serving as a quiet landmark of early settlement in this corner of Sioux County. To the north, the terrain rises toward Turner Peak, while the network of creeks including Squaw Cr, Dirty Jim Cr, and the branches of S Antelope Cr carve deep into the plateau. The map details the rural infrastructure connecting these points, from Klondike Rd to the long stretches of N Van Tassell Rd.
