About this map

Mariaville stands at a key junction of land and water in north-central Nebraska, where local roads meet near the banks of the Niobrara River. This 2011 survey reveals a landscape deeply defined by its drainage network, with numerous waterways like Ash Creek, Oak Creek, and Willow Creek feeding into the main river valley. The presence of Cook Reservoir and the associated Cook Dam indicates local water management efforts, while Turpin Lake provides a natural contrast in the river's floodplain.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Simpson Cemetery to the north, situated near Simpson Creek and the notable elevation of King Hill. The map also captures the path of Hay Valley Rd and other rural routes that connect these dispersed features, reflecting the agricultural and ranching character of Rock County. Smaller tributaries such as Haughin Creek, Anne Creek, and Big Creek further illustrate the intricate hydrology of this plains region.
