About this map

The Platte River corridor serves as the central artery for this mid-century portrait of eastern Nebraska, dividing Sarpy and Cass counties. The landscape is defined by its agrarian roots and educational infrastructure, dotted with one-room country schoolhouses including Bell Sch, Sarpy Center Sch, Chase Sch, and Cullom Sch. Transportation networks of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and the Burlington Northern railroads anchor the small settlements of Richfield and Cedar Creek.

Industry and recreation cluster along the riverbanks, where a Quarry and local landmarks like Crestview Lodge and Camp Maha show the dual utility of the riverfront. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of rural spiritual and communal sites such as Lutheran Ch, Fairview Cem, and Glendale Cem, marking the footprint of the families who settled this fertile valley before the expansion of nearby urban centers.
