2015 Map of Kirtley SW

About this map

Kirtley Rd serves as the primary east-west artery through this high plains landscape of eastern Niobrara County, reflecting the enduring grid of the Public Land Survey System. The area is defined by a series of north-flowing intermittent drainages, including Fitzsimmons Cr and Middle Cr, which carve subtle topography into the rangeland. These watercourses, alongside others like S Bar Cr and Van Tassell Cr, indicate a drainage pattern toward the Cheyenne River basin to the north. This 2015 update by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the intersection of several townships, such as t33n r61w and t34n r61w, providing a contemporary record of land boundaries and rural infrastructure in a region traditionally dominated by ranching and agriculture.
