2017 Map of Story

About this map

Story sits at the heart of this high plains landscape within Sioux County, Nebraska, where the drainage patterns of N Antelope Cr and S Antelope Cr shape the local topography. This 2017 survey details a region dominated by the Oglala National Grassland, reflecting a land-use history centered on grazing and water management. The map identifies several vital water resources, including the Wallace Reservoir and Anderson Reservoir, which are critical in this arid environment. Distinctive local names such as Grandma Davis Draw provide a link to the families and individuals who settled and worked these lands. The infrastructure of the area is defined by gravel routes like Story Rd and Schnurr Rd, which connect isolated ranching sites and public lands, illustrating the vast, open character of the Nebraska panhandle in the early 21st century.
