About this map

The Keya Paha River winds through this northern Nebraska landscape, marking a terrain defined by deep creek drainages and a network of private water management. The small community of Mills serves as the local anchor near the river, situated just north of the Ne-12 highway. Genealogists will find the Olive Branch Cem located west of the settlement, a significant local landmark for tracing family history in Keya Paha County.

The landscape is notable for its numerous named reservoirs, such as Peterson Reservoir Number 2 and Serr Reservoir, which highlight the importance of water storage in this ranching country. Several prominent drainages, including Coon Cr, Spring Cr, and Shingle Cr, feed into the river system. To the northwest, the elevation rises toward Nets Peak, while the northern boundary follows the state line between Nebraska and South Dakota, crossing into Gregory County.
