About this map

The Platte River defines the central corridor of this landscape, carving through the tri-county junction of Sarpy, Saunders, and Cass. In the northern reaches, the community of Gretna sits east of the river, while the settlement of Ashland occupies the western bank near the confluence of Salt Creek and Wahoo Creek. This 2017 survey illustrates a modern transport and water management network, including the Western Sarpy Ditch and numerous reservoirs like Philpot Reservoir and US West Lake.

Genealogists can locate the Wortman Cem in the southern portion of the map, while local history interests may find significance in small riverfront locales such as Linoma Beach, Beacon View, and Riverside. The terrain is marked by distinct features like Wilburn Island and the drainage of Buffalo Cr and Clear Cr, reflecting a complex hydrological environment where rail lines and country roads like Platteview Rd connect the scattered towns.
