2017 Map of Niobrara NE

About this map

Friedenberg Mennonite Cem and several other burial grounds define the cultural landscape of this rural prairie borderland. Located near the intersection of Charles Mix and Bon Homme counties, the area is marked by a deep-seated immigrant heritage, evidenced by sites like the First German Baptist Cem and Zion Lutheran Cem. The terrain is shaped by the winding course of Choteau Cr and its tributary, Dry Choteau Cr, which carve through the high plains. A rigid grid of section roads, including Stone Hse Rd and 407th Ave, connects these quiet landmarks. The map illustrates a late 20th-century agricultural environment where small family cemeteries and remote churches serve as the primary anchors for the surrounding farmsteads and rural townships.
