About this map

Central City serves as the regional anchor on the northern edge of this Nebraska landscape, where the street grid transitions into the expansive agricultural sections of Merrick County. The Platte River dominates the central geography, its braided channels and sandbars creating a complex hydrologic corridor that includes features like Bushes Island. To the south, the terrain becomes more varied as it approaches Marquette, punctuated by the Sherman Reservoir and Larsen Reservoir.

Transport and water management are primary themes, with Warm Slough and Silver Cr traversing the plains toward the river. The presence of Central City Municipal Airport-Larry Reineke Field and the small settlement of Paddock reflect the intersection of rural life and regional infrastructure. This survey provides a clear view of the county line between Merrick and Hamilton, tracing how the land is divided and utilized near the Wood River in the southwestern corner.
