2011 Map of Central City West

About this map

The Platte River dominates this landscape of the Platte Valley, braiding through several channels as it passes Bushes Island. At the northeastern edge of the sheet, Central City serves as a regional hub, its grid layout defined by streets like 18th St and proximity to the Central City Municipal Airport. Agricultural drainage and water management are prominent throughout the region, evidenced by the presence of Warm Slough, Silver Creek, and several reservoirs such as Sherman Reservoir and Larsen Reservoir with their associated dams. The southern portion of the map includes the village of Marquette, where the Marquette Post Office marks the center of local civic life. Smaller crossroads and rural landmarks, such as Paddock, are connected by a network of section-line roads like Lone Tree Rd and Fairgrounds Rd, showing the systematic development of Merrick and Hamilton counties.
