Planning a hunt near Keeline? Think of the Niobrara County hunting map as two layers: where public access exists, and who owns everything else. Covered here for this county: where public hunting land is mapped, how to read private parcel lines, and getting landowner permission the right way around Lusk.
The Niobrara County hunting map: start here
For a home near Van Tassell, start with Wyoming Game and Fish Department for public areas, along with seasons and regulations.
The free map to start with
Go first to the Niobrara County ArcGIS parcel map; it includes each assessed parcel from Lusk to Keeline. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along US Route 85 and click the parcel itself, whether the land is near Manville or elsewhere in the county. If the land is near Van Tassell, a pop-up or side panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
Aerial scouting
On the aerial around Lusk, travel corridors and edges stand out; match each spot to its parcel.
Offices that can help
Recorded documents for a parcel near Lusk sit in the index kept by the County Clerk, often with an online index. Questions about what you can build around Lance Creek are for the local planning and health departments, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.

Parcel lines for hunters
For private ground, the Niobrara County ArcGIS parcel map is the free source, with owner names for tracts near Riverview.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for land near Van Tassell are kept by the County Clerk. On ground around Manville, use the book and page listed on the parcel record so staff can find the deed fast.
Asking for permission
For land near Lance Creek, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and respect a no.
Sections, lots and bearings
Wyoming uses the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Riverview is described by section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Lusk vary in size. Keep the legal description for land near Riverview for any title or survey request.
A word on accuracy
With a lot near Keeline, acreage on the record is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real corners on the ground. Closer to Lusk, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Manville, so load it before you lose signal. A saved image of the lot near Lance Creek and its lines helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Staying legal
Check Wyoming Game and Fish Department for seasons and licensing, and know your state's trespass rules wherever you hunt near Manville.
Places you'll see on the map
Lusk is the county seat, home to the main records offices. Smaller places on the map include Manville, Van Tassell, Lance Creek, and Keeline, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 2,354 people live in this county (Census estimate, 2023) spread over about 2,626 square miles around Van Tassell. The county was formed in 1911, and some chains of title near Riverview are long.
Safety and courtesy
Respect livestock and crops around Riverview, and tell someone where you'll be; owners remember good guests.
