Map of Agate Fossil Beds National Monument in Nebraska. Shown in green against a tan background, the park is long, running from east to west. The Niobrara River ripples across the length of the park, which is accessible via a park road that branches off State Route 29. 

Extended Description

Two roadways indicated by red lines run through the map of Agate Fossil Beds National Monument. A vertical red line on the left side of the map represents State Route 29 and cuts through the western edge of the park. Text near the north end of 29 reads, “To Harrison and US Route 20.” Text near the south end of 29 reads, “To Mitchell and US Route 26.” 

Midway through State Route 29, a horizontal red line representing the park road heads east and turns into an unpaved road after exiting the east side of the park. Text near the east end of that road reads, “To Marsland and State Route 2.”  

The Visitor Center is near the northeast corner of the park. From the Visitor Center, a gray dashed line representing the Fossil Hills Tail travels south to pass University Hill and then encircle Carnegie Hill. Near the center of the park, a gray line connecting the park road to the river is labeled River access.  

Where River Road meets State Route 29 at the western edge of the park is a gray dashed line representing the Daemonelix Trail, which extends north for just over a quarter of a mile and ends in a loop. 

Private properties sit on both the west and east sides of the park. On the west side is the Agate Springs Ranch, which takes up the entire left side of the park west of State Route 29 and a portion of the park south of the park road. The other plot of private property is in the northeast corner of the park. A small green square representing the Stynomylus Quarry (no public access), is to the east of the park near the lower right corner of the map.
