About this map

The Niobrara National Scenic River corridor cuts across the northeast corner of this Cherry County landscape, where the Niobrara River winds through a narrow valley. South of this protected waterway, the terrain is defined by the high, undulating tablelands and complex hydrology of the Sandhills. This 2017 survey details the branching drainage of Fairfield Cr in the south and the winding course of Lost Cr to the east, illustrating how these seasonal watercourses carve into the plateau. The map highlights a largely unsettled expanse of Nebraska rangeland, organized by the township and range lines of the Public Land Survey System, including t33n r26w and t32n r25w. It serves as a precise record of contemporary land management and natural water features in a region where the vastness of the prairie meets the biologically diverse Niobrara valley.
