1978 Map of Shepherds Point

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Seaman Hills dominate the northern terrain of this Niobrara County landscape, where deep drainages like Indian Creek and Plum Creek carve through the high plains. This 1970s survey illustrates a rural ranching environment defined by isolated landmarks and water sources. The Indian Creek School stands as a primary point of historical interest, serving the scattered families of this expansive territory. Notable geological features including Table Mountain and the namesake Shepherds Point provide vertical relief against the winding draws and creeks. The drainage network is particularly dense in the southern portion, where Middle Indian Creek, Mill Creek, and Swanski Creek converge. A variety of smaller topographical features, such as Swanski Rock and Cedar Draw, further characterize the local geography, providing specific points of reference for land use and navigation in a region where water and high ground dictated the pattern of settlement.
