2011 Map of Montrose

About this map

Pioneer Cemetery and the settlement of Montrose anchor this high plains landscape in Sioux County. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Hat Creek, Indian Creek, and Whitehead Creek, which feed into numerous small stock ponds and larger impoundments like Wiedenfeld Reservoir Number 1 and Semroska Reservoir. This 2011 survey reveals a ranching-driven geography where family-named landmarks such as Wasserburger Ranch and Raben Ranch mark the open country near Stony Hill. The presence of Semroska Dam and Raben Dam Number 2 highlights the critical role of water management in this arid stretch of western Nebraska. Infrastructure is focused on a few primary corridors, namely Hat Creek Rd and Montrose Rd, which connect these isolated homesteads and burial grounds to the wider region.
