History

TheWildcat Hillsare anescarpmentbetween theNorth Platte RiverandPumpkin Creekin the westernPanhandle, in the state ofNebraskain theGreat Plainsregion of the United States. Located inBanner,Morrill, andScotts Bluffcounties, the high tableland between the streams has been eroded by wind and water into a region of forestedbuttes, ridges andcanyonsthat rise 150 to 300m (490 to 980ft) above the surrounding landscape.

Chimney Rock,Scotts Bluff, andCourthouse and Jail Rocksare outcrops along the northern and western edges of the Wildcat Hills.

The plant and animal life in the Wildcat Hills is atypical for Nebraska; the ecology more resembles that of theLaramie Mountains, 60 miles to the west. The dominant tree in the region is theponderosa pine.Bighorn sheep,pronghorn,elk,mule deer, andwild turkeyslive in and around the hills.

Cougars(mountain lions), which had beenextirpatedfrom the region around 1900, returned to the area in the early 1990s. The Wildcat Hills (along with thePine Ridge), are the only areas in Nebraska with a permanent breeding cougar population.
