2017 Map of Whistle Creek NW

About this map

Agate Fossil Beds National Monument anchors the southern half of this Sioux County landscape, preserving a world-renowned paleontological site. The Niobrara River winds through the monument, flanked by distinctive landmarks like Carnegie Hill and Univ Hill, which mark the high points of the local stratigraphy. The presence of the Harris Neece Canal indicates the importance of managed water resources for agriculture in this high-plains environment. North of the river, the terrain is defined by a series of drainage patterns feeding into Barngrover Cr. The map details the rural infrastructure connecting these points, primarily via River Rd and Johnson Dr Rd, which follow the natural contours of the river valley and the rising tablelands of the Whistle Creek Precinct.
