¹In addition to the above lands, Nebraska Public Power District purchased 2,650 acres of land (3- mile stretch of river and adjacent grasslands, forest, wet meadows, and cropland) in 1992 between Elm Creek and Overton bridges in anticipation of resolution of the re-licensing of NPPD's North Platte hydro station and associated facilities. A portion of another 387 acres of land at Elm Creek, Lexington, and Overton is managed for least tern and piping plover nesting.

²Land owned by the State of Wyoming and managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
