The Keya Paha River
The 'Keya Paha River' is a tributary of the
Niobrara River, approximately 101 mi (163 km) long, in the
U.S. states of
South Dakota and
Nebraska.
It rises in the
prairie country of southeastern South Dakota, on the
Rosebud Indian Reservation in
Todd County near
Antelope. It flows ESE into northeastern Nebraska and joins the Niobrara 10 mi. (16 km) west of
Butte.
Between 1861 and 1882, the stretch of the Keya Paha from 43° N to its confluence with the Niobrara marked the boundary between Nebraska and the
Dakota Territory.
