About this map

The Platte River defines the landscape of this central Nebraska corridor, carving a braided path through Merrick and Polk counties. The settlement of Clarks is established on the northern bank, structured along a grid including W Amity St and Iller St. Local history and genealogy are preserved at Calvary Cem and Clarks Cem, both situated just northeast of the town center.

The river is punctuated by numerous named landforms, such as Island Number 2, Bakers Island, and Cottonwood Island, which reflect the shifting nature of the waterway. To the south and east, the terrain becomes more varied with the inclusion of several engineered water bodies like Coover Reservoir, Dittmer Reservoir, and Stevens Reservoir. This survey provides a clear view of the rural road network and the tri-county boundaries where Merrick, Polk, and Hamilton counties meet.
