Viewing Maps

On this page, you can find down loadable crane and wildlife viewing maps, as well as an interactive map of the region.

The maps found here are a guide - a starting point - on your trip to the Nebraska Flyway. For more information and details, be sure to browse through the menu options on the left side of this page, or request more information.

Many birds and wildlife can be viewed from your vehicle. Water conditions, however, do vary from year to year, so you may want to check on prime viewing locations by contacting the Iain Nicolson Audubon Center at Rowe Sanctuary during or prior to your visit. You can also enjoy guided and self-guided tours during the prime crane viewing season.
