2014 Map of Marsland NW

About this map

Pine Ridge dominates the northern landscape of this High Plains quadrangle, where the terrain breaks into a series of steep drainages and escarpments. The Niobrara River flows across the southern portion of the sheet, serving as a primary hydrological feature in this rural corner of Nebraska. This 2014 survey documents the intersections of Dawes, Sioux, and Box Butte counties, a region defined by large-scale ranching and sparse residential development. Local transit is facilitated by a network of rural routes including Diehl Rd and River Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land. Waterways like Barngrover Cr and the evocatively named Starvation Gulch carve through the sedimentary layers of the ridge, illustrating the erosional patterns typical of the Nebraska Panhandle’s unique geology.
