2017 Map of Lance Creek

About this map

West Lance Creek and the settlement of Lance Creek serve as the primary landmarks in this part of Niobrara County, situated where the high plains terrain is carved by a network of seasonal drainages. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including Lance Cr and Little Lightning Cr, which dictate the local topography and the placement of rural infrastructure. A notable Water Storage Reservoir in the eastern section highlights the importance of water management in this arid region, while land use is further indicated by the presence of industrial and agricultural access routes like Carter Oil Co Rd and V S Hilltop Rd. The map also captures several distinct physical features, such as Twentymile Gulch in the northwest, which provide significant navigational markers for local history and geographic study.
