About this map

The Niobrara River carves through the northern reaches of this Cherry County landscape, a corridor protected as both the Niobrara National Scenic River and the Niobrara Wild and Scenic River. This survey captures the characteristic topography of north-central Nebraska, where dramatic drainage patterns are formed by southern tributaries. Moving across the high plains terrain, the waters of Fairfield Cr and Lost Cr flow toward the primary river valley, defining the local hydrology. This 2021 update illustrates the modern configuration of these protected federal lands and the surrounding sections of the Public Land Survey System, providing a detailed record of the waterways and terrain as they existed in the early twenty-first century.
