About this map

Oscar Micheaux Cr flows through this corner of northern Nebraska, a region defined by the intricate drainages of the Missouri River watershed along the South Dakota border. This landscape in Boyd County reveals a network of section lines and rural access roads that follow the high ridges between deeply incised creek beds. The drainage patterns shown here provide a clear look at the local topography as it was documented in the early 21st century, illustrating how the natural watercourses shape the layout of agricultural land and transportation routes in this part of the Great Plains.
