About this map

Marsland sits at the center of this Nebraska landscape, situated near the boundary of Dawes and Box Butte counties. The geography is defined by the passage of the Niobrara River, which cuts across the terrain from west to east, passing just south of the main settlement area. Along the river, Gregg Lake and Sand Canyon Cr indicate the water-rich bottomlands that stand in contrast to the more arid surrounding uplands.

A network of rural routes like Road 1110 and Squaw Mound Rd connect the scattered homesteads and landmarks of the high plains. For those researching local heritage, the Marsland Cem and the evocatively named Starvation Gulch offer specific points of interest. The map captures a moment when the regional economy remained deeply tied to the land, centered on the intersection of the river valley and the north-south transit of Ne-71.
