2017 Map of Pole Creek Valley

About this map

Niobrara River flows across the northern edge of this high plains landscape, while the namesake Pole Creek Valley occupies the central reaches of the map. This area of Cherry County is characterized by the intricate drainage of Pole Cr, which winds through a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies that dot the terrain. The northern portion features the expansive Lavaca Flats, an area where the flat topography meets the river system. The map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, including t32n r40w and t31n r39w, showing the rectilinear property boundaries that defined settlement patterns in this remote section of the Nebraska Sandhills.
