2021 Map of Kirtley SW

About this map

Niobrara County's high plains terrain is defined by a dendritic network of ephemeral drainages and intermittent streams in this modern 2021 survey. The landscape is carved by watercourses including Middle Creek, Fitzsimmons Creek, and Indian Creek, which flow through the sectioned ranch lands of the high Wyoming prairie. Settlement in this portion of the county remains sparse, oriented around the path of Kirtley Rd as it traverses the central townships. The map provides a precise contemporary look at the Public Land Survey System, illustrating the grid of T33N R61W and T34N R61W. This area is characterized by rolling topography and prominent draws such as S Bar Rd Draw and the headwaters of Van Tassell Creek, reflecting a region dedicated to large-scale livestock grazing and open-range land management.
