About this map

The Platte River defines the central geography of this region, separating Merrick Co and Hamilton County. Along its northern banks, the city of Central City serves as a primary hub, with its grid extending south toward the river’s braided channels. The landscape is marked by the intricate hydrology of the Platte basin, featuring smaller waterways like Silver Cr, Warm Slough, and the Wood River.

South of the river, the village of Marquette anchors the corner of the map, while the smaller settlement of Paddock is situated further north. Aviation interests are represented by the Central City Municipal Airport - Larry Reineke Field. The terrain transitions from the developed streets of Central City to the agricultural sections and riparian environments of Bushes Island, providing a clear look at the relationship between the Platte's flow and the local road network that follows section lines.
