2017 Map of Marsland NW

About this map

Pine Ridge dominates the northern topography of this 2017 survey, where high escarpments overlook a network of seasonal drainages and rural corridors. The land is defined by the east-west passage of the Niobrara River, which cuts across the southern half of the sheet, joined by smaller tributaries like Barngrover Cr and the descriptively named Starvation Gulch in the far northeast corner. This High Plains landscape is marked by a clear cadastral grid and sparse, purposeful road development. Local history is traced through family-named routes such as Morava Rd, Diehl Rd, and Soester Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between the river valley and the ridge. The map also captures the convergence of three Nebraska counties, showing the precise points where Sioux, Dawes, and Box Butte counties meet amidst the ranching and timbered terrain.
