About this map

The Niobrara River carves a deep valley through this northern Nebraska landscape, serving as the primary geographic border between Boyd and Holt Counties. The river's path is defined by a network of drainage systems, including the northern Big Creek and Wright Creek, while the southern bank is fed by the intricate branches of Clay Creek and Otter Creek. The terrain reveals the transition from high prairie plateaus down to the river bottoms, with deep incisions like Cedar Gulch in the southeast. While the area remains largely rural and defined by large sections of land, human modification is evident in the MMK Reservoir Number 1 located near Beaver Creek. A grid of section roads, such as Copper Rd and Apple Rd, provides access to these remote ranching and farming lands near the Rock County line.
