2017 Map of Van Tassell

About this map

Van Tassell sits at a geographic crossroads where the high plains of eastern Wyoming meet the Nebraska panhandle. This 2017 survey shows the village positioned just north of the Niobrara River, a vital water source in this semi-arid landscape. The topography is defined by drainage patterns like Van Tassell Cr, which flows southward toward the river, and distinctive landforms such as Steamboat Rock in the northwest. Local history and genealogy are anchored at the Van Tassell Cem, located just south of the primary settlement. The map also delineates the precise state boundary separating Wyoming and Nebraska, alongside the county line for Niobrara and Sioux counties. The road network, including N Van Tassell Rd and S Van Tassell Rd, reflects the area's rural character and its reliance on these arteries for connectivity across the state line.
