About this map

Marsland anchors this high plains landscape in Dawes County, where the settlement is defined by its position along the meandering Niobrara River. This 2011 survey illustrates a sparse ranching and agricultural region where civic life is marked by the Marsland Post Office and the Marsland Cemetery, which serves the surrounding community. The presence of School Number 76 to the southeast indicates the persistence of rural school districts in this corner of Nebraska.

Water management and geography are critical here, with Gregg Lake and drainage features like Starvation Gulch and Sand Canyon Creek carving through the terrain. A network of section-line and namesake roads, including Soester Rd and Squaw Mound Rd, connect isolated homesteads to the village. The inclusion of the Wilkins Landing Strip further highlights the necessity of private aviation for navigating this expansive Western landscape.
