2014 Map of Muleshoe Creek

About this map

The Niobrara National Scenic River corridor dominates this landscape at the intersection of Cherry, Keya Paha, and Brown Counties. The map documents a stretch of river characterized by navigation hazards and small islands, including Conners Rapid, Egelhoffs Rapid, and the prominent Fritzs Island. Infrastructure is sparse in this protected area, with the County Line Bridge serving as a primary crossing point near The Chute. Tributaries like Muleshoe Cr and Coleman Cr feed the main river from the north, while the southern section of the quadrangle is defined by the winding course of Fairfield Cr and its S Fork Fairfield Cr. The terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts at Egelhoffs Narrows, where the river channel constricts between steep banks.
