The drainage basin of the Niobara River is dendritic.

Explanation:

The name dendritic comes from having the shape of the branches of a tree.

The Niobara River is like the trunk, and the tributaries are the little branches that stem from it.

Looking at a map of Nebraska on Google Maps, it can be seen that this dendritic pattern is repeated the Northeast of the state, to the Westernmost part of it.
