General Topographic Features I The MEAUP is located in the northern Nebraska Panhandle roughly 10 to 12 miles south of Crawford, Nebraska and five miles northeast of Marsland, Nebraska. This portion of the Nebraska Panhandle is dominated topographically by the Pine Ridge escarpment, a rugged, stony region of forested buttes and I deep canyons that divides the High Plains to the south from the Missouri Plateau to the north. The project area straddles the southernmost boundary of the Pine Ridge escarpment and another distinct topographic region to the south, the Dawes Table lands. Taken together, these regions form a unique local mosaic of I topography, geology, and habitat within the project area. I 2. Project Area a. Topography I The Pine Ridge escarpment covers more than one thousand square miles across far eastern Wyoming, northern Nebraska and extreme southern South Dakota (Nebraska State Historical Society 2000). -
Interstate 80 Lakes — Grand Island to Elm Creek
Interstate 80 Lakes — Grand Island to Elm Creek Fish Survey Results - Spring 2014 Brad Eifert, Fisheries Biologist Spanning a stretch of 150 miles along Interstate 80 from Grand Island to Hershey more than 60 small lakes are available for public fishing. Fisheries staff from the Kearney office has the management responsibility for the Interstate lakes located from Grand Island to Elm Creek. These man-made lakes, most of which were created for fill material when the Interstate system was developed in the 1960’s, range in size from 1 to 42 acres. The ground water fed lakes have excellent shoreline access for anglers and usually contain clear water and abundant aquatic vegetation, providing excellent habitat conditions for largemouth bass and bluegill. In addition, most of the lakes contain channel catfish, while others have crappie, rock bass, walleye, and northern pike. The fish populations are surveyed on a five year rotation and the following graphs and text display these results. Largemouth Bass Largemouth bass are present in all of the Interstate lakes in the central portion of Nebraska, with the exception of War Axe, which has been stocked with smallmouth bass. Lakes with high densities of smaller bass, include Windmill, Ft. Kearny, West and Middle Mormon Island, Kea Lake, Coot Shallows, and Sandy Channel #2. Lakes that traditionally produce larger bass include Cheyenne, Windmill #1, Bassway Strip, Blue Hole West, and Sandy Channel #8. Most of the I-80 lakes have a 15-inch minimum length limit on black bass. Exceptions include; Mormon Island SRA, Cheyenne, West Wood River, War Axe, and Archway Lakes, all of which have a 21-inch minimum length limit. -

They migrated southward through the area of Wisconsin and Minnesota to the Mississippi River. Those who became known as the Ioway remained at the junction of the Iowa River, while the rest of the band traveled on, further West and South to the Missouri River. At the fork of the Grand River, a quarrel ensued between the families of two chiefs, and the band of people divided into the Otoe and Missouria tribes. The two communities remained autonomous until the Missouria suffered near annihilation from sickness and intertribal warfare over hunting boundaries aggravated by the fur trade. The remnant group merged with the Otoes in 1798 under their chiefs. However, by the 1830’s they had been absorbed by the larger community. In the 1880’s, the leaders went South and selected lands between the Ponca and Pawnee in Oklahoma Territory. Their numbers had been reduced to 334 members. The oral tradition of the several communities had ceased, on the whole, by the early 1940’s, although several contemporary versions of stories and accompanying songs were recorded by this writer from the last fluent speakers in 1970 - 1987. The final two fluent speaker of Ioway - Otoe-Missouria language died at Red Rock, Oklahoma in the Winter of 1996. -
Nebraska Chapter Representative
North Central Division- American Fisheries Society Rivers and Streams Technical Committee Brett Roberg, Nebraska Chapter Representative Activities related to Rivers and Streams in Nebraska for 2020 NEBRASKA GAME AND PARKS COMMISSION COOLWATER STREAMS In 2015/16, the Commission drafted a Coolwater Streams Management Plan. The purpose of the Cool Water Stream Management Plan is to identify goals for stewardship of cool water stream resources in Nebraska, and to develop specific, attainable and measurable action items for Nebraska Game and Parks Commission (NGPC) staff to implement to achieve the vision. A copy of the plan can be found here. Projects completed in 2020 include: DRY SPOTTED TAIL CREEK Dry Spotted Tail creek was historically manipulated to improve agricultural drainage and reduce flood potential, and the hydrology of the creek was affected by regional irrigation practices. These anthropogenic manipulations over the past + 70 years caused continued down cutting (+9ft) across the Dry Spotted Tail complex, reduced desirable bedform diversity, and dewatered the surrounding wetlands. The project team recommended a Priority 1 restoration approach that would restore the natural hydrology of Dry Spotted Tail Creek and the North Platte River, return groundwater levels to pre-incised conditions, while installing additional stream sinuosity with in-stream habitat features to sustain healthy aquatic, riparian, and wetland communities (Figure 1). Figure 1. Aerial images of the Dry Spotted Tail Creek complex illustrating pre-project (left image) and the post-project (right image). Photo credit: Justin Haag, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. In total, the project team enhanced 1.50 mi of stream, increased stream sinuosity from 1.0 to 1.43, decreased the bank height ratio from 2.5 to 1.0, reduced Dominant BEHI/NBS from M/L to L/L, increased percent riffle (%) from 35 to 45, increased the pool depth ratio from 1.7 to 3, and increased the riparian width (%) from 20 to 100. -

Ashfall Fossil Beds From Waterhole to Rhino Barn A drive across northeast Nebraska on U.S. Highway 20 is pretty much what one might expect in the rural areas of the nation’s heartland. The countryside consists of fields of corn and soybeans, and patches of small grains and alfalfa, interspersed with rolling pasture and grazing cattle. There is certainly nothing to indicate to the traveler that twelve million years prior he would have been journeying through a vast North American savanna, teeming with exotic wildlife. tributary of the Verdigre Creek, which flows It takes some imagination to visualize herds of into the Niobrara River thirty miles to the rhinos, delicate horses, camels and elephants northeast. This river system, running the length grazing great seas of grass or browsing on of Northern Nebraska, has been abundant in shrubby trees where row crops now stand. -

A review of studies of sexual dimorphism in the vertebrate fossil record revealed methods that were selected for use in ceratopsids. Mountain goats, bison, and pronghorn were selected as exemplar taxa for a proof of principle study that tested the selected methods, and informed and guided the investigation of sexual dimorphism in dinosaurs. Skulls of these exemplar taxa were measured in museum collections, and methods of analysing morphological variation were tested for their ability to demonstrate sexual dimorphism in their horns and horncores.
