About this map

The braided channels of the Platte River dominate this Central Nebraska landscape, creating a complex network of waterways and low-lying landforms in Lincoln County. Several large named landmasses rise within the river’s reach, including Brady Island, McCullough Island, and Brushy Island, illustrating how the river dictates the area's geography and road layout. To the north of the main channel, Pawnee Slough and Pawnee Creek create additional drainage patterns through the agricultural flats.

Local transportation and land history are etched into the grid by roads such as E Fort McPherson Rd and S Gun Club Rd, which navigate around the wetland features. The presence of the Brady Cem on the eastern edge provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing families from the Brady area. This survey effectively captures the intersection of the Platte’s natural hydrology with the established rural road system and land divisions of the early 21st century.
