About this map

Oglala National Grassland dominates this corner of the Nebraska panhandle, where the high plains break into a network of intermittent watercourses and small reservoirs. The small settlement of Montrose sits at the junction of Montrose Rd and Hat Creek Rd, serving as a central point for the surrounding ranching and grassland landscape. To the north, the Pioneer Cem stands as a point of interest for genealogists and local historians, reflecting the early homesteading era in Sioux County.

The terrain is defined by drainages like Hat Creek, Whitehead Creek, and Indian Creek that carve through the landscape, alongside landmarks like Stony Hill. Managed water resources are evident in the presence of Wiedenfeld Reservoir Number 1, Raben Reservoir Number 2, and Semroska Reservoir. This topographic study preserves the rural infrastructure of the region, from the primary travel routes like Orella Rd to the quiet stretches of the national grassland.
