1983 Map of Valentine South

About this map

Valentine serves as the northern anchor of this landscape, situated just south of the winding Minnechaduza Creek. The geography is defined by the deep incision of the Niobrara River, which snakes across the central portion of the map, flanked by steep, intricate canyon walls. To the south, Schlegel Creek carves another significant drainage path through the Nebraska Sandhills. This 1983 survey captures the transition from the organized town grid and its surrounding agricultural land into the protected wilderness of the Fort Niobrara National Wildlife Refuge and the Borman Bridge Wildlife Management Area.
