2017 Map of Van Tassell SE

About this map

The high plains along the Nebraska-Wyoming border reveal a sparse but strictly ordered landscape of section lines and rural tracks. The boundary between Niobrara County and Goshen County meets the Wyoming and Nebraska state line, marking a point of convergence for regional administration. The terrain is defined by a network of numbered and named gravel routes that facilitate movement between isolated ranching lands. Key arteries like S Van Tassell Rd and Van Tassell Rd run vertically across the townships, while Henry Rd and Thirty-Three Rd navigate the undulating contours of the plains. This 2017 survey documents the modern layout of the Public Land Survey System, showing how the grid of townships—such as t30n r60w and t29n r57w—persists as the fundamental structure for land ownership and movement in this part of Sioux County.
