2017 Map of Marsland

About this map

Marsland occupies a central position in this High Plains landscape, situated along the northern banks of the Niobrara River. This 2017 survey reveals a rural Nebraska community where the natural hydrology of the Gregg Lake wetlands and the flowing waters of Sand Canyon Cr intersect with a grid of country roads. The map documents the boundary between Dawes Co and Box Butte Co, showing how local infrastructure like Niobrara St and Co Rd 82 connects the settlement to outlying agricultural lands. Notable landmarks for local historians include the Marsland Cem to the north and the evocatively named Starvation Gulch near the intersection of Manley Rd and the primary highway corridor. The terrain is characterized by subtle elevation changes and drainages that feed into the river valley, defining the spatial layout of this ranching and farming region.
