2017 Map of Mariaville

About this map

The Niobrara National Scenic River corridor dominates this northern Nebraska landscape, winding through a complex of bluffs and drainage systems. This 2017 survey details the area around Mariaville, a settlement positioned near the confluence of several creeks that feed the main river artery. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, particularly around King Hill and the deep incisions made by waterways like Simpson Cr and Haughin Cr. Rural life is anchored by established sites such as the Simpson Cem and several water management features, including Cook Reservoir and Turpin Lake. The map captures the meeting point of Rock, Boyd, Keya Paha, and Holt counties, illustrating how section lines and local roads like Hay Valley Rd and Haugen Rd negotiate the uneven ground of the river valley.
