2011 Map of Whiteclay SW

About this map

Little Beaver Creek and Beaver Creek define the drainage of this Sheridan County landscape, where the high plains of northern Nebraska meet the drainages of the Niobrara basin. This 2011 survey illustrates a sparse, ranch-oriented land use pattern where water management is central to the local economy. A primary landmark is the Kadlecek Dam, which forms the Kadlecek Reservoir along the winding course of Beaver Creek. The terrain is marked by distinct rises such as Bomar Hill, providing topographic relief in an area primarily accessed via a network of rural routes including Beaver Creek Rd and Road 13c. To the east, the headwaters of White Clay Creek further emphasize the importance of these seasonal and perennial watercourses in an arid environment.
