2011 Map of Rushville SE

About this map

The Niobrara River winds across this Sheridan County landscape, serving as the primary drainage for the surrounding sandhills and plains. This 2011 survey captures the hydrological network of the region, where the river is joined by northern tributaries such as Rush Creek and southern flows from Deer Creek. The waterway remains a defining feature of the local topography, influencing the placement of local infrastructure like the Furman Bridge, which provides one of the few crossings in this sparse section of the High Plains. The map's sparse labels reflect the open, ranch-driven character of the area, where water sources and established river crossings dictate the movement of both people and livestock across the prairie.
