1968 Map of Ashland East

About this map

The Platte River dominates this landscape where the boundaries of Saunders, Sarpy, and Cass counties converge. On its western bank, the military presence of Camp Ashland (National Guard) sits just north of the confluence where Wahoo Creek and Salt Creek join the main river channel. The river itself is characterized by shifting sandbars and features like Wilburn Island, alongside industrial activity marked by numerous sandpits and quarries that define the local economy during this era.
