2011 Map of Clarks

About this map

The braided channels of the Platte River define this portion of Merrick County, carving out named landforms such as Bakers Island, Ash Island, and Cottonwood Island. The settlement of Clarks serves as the local hub, organized around a grid that includes the Clarks Post Office and intersections of W Millard St and S Green St. Outside the town center, the landscape is punctuated by water management infrastructure, including the Coover Dam and Dittmer Dam, which support the Coover Reservoir and Dittmer Reservoir. For those tracing local heritage, the Calvary Cemetery and Clarks Cemetery provide specific points of interest north of the town site. The map captures the specialized road network used to navigate the riverbanks, with routes like Morningstar Lake Rd and Hidden Cabin leading directly toward the river's edge.
