2011 Map of Story

About this map

Story sits at the intersection of Story Rd and a network of ephemeral waterways that define this corner of Sioux County. The landscape is characterized by the ranching heritage of western Nebraska, where family-named landmarks like Wallace Ranch, Locker Ranch, and Falkenburg Ranch anchor the remote terrain. Water management is central to life here, evidenced by numerous small-scale impoundments including Anderson Reservoir and Schnurr Reservoir Number 2. A intricate drainage system consisting of North Antelope Creek, South Antelope Creek, and Squaw Creek carves through the plains, while uniquely named topographic features such as Grandma Davis Draw reflect a long-standing local connection to the land and its specific family histories.
