1983 Map of Whistle Creek NW

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Agate Fossil Beds National Monument anchors this 1983 survey of Sioux County, Nebraska, preserving a landscape where the Niobrara River winds through the high plains. The map highlights the intersection of natural paleontological history and early 20th-century water management, as seen in the engineered paths of the Neece Canal and Harris Canal that parallel the river's course. Local topography is defined by prominent rises such as University Hill and Carnegie Hill, landmarks that reflect the scientific heritage of this remote region. The presence of isolated wells and springs underscore the critical importance of water sources in this arid stretch of western Nebraska, where the terrain shifts toward Barngrover Creek in the northeast corner of the quadrangle.
