2021 Map of Clarks

About this map

Clarks sits as a central hub on this Nebraska landscape, its street grid defined by names like Beardsley St and George St alongside the vital Union Pacific rail line. The town's local history is anchored by the Clarks Cem and Calvary Cem on its northern edge, while the sprawling braided channels of the Platte River dominate the southern half of the quadrangle. This river system creates a complex network of landmasses including Bakers Island, Ash Island, and the large Prairie Island, reflecting the shifting hydrology of the region. Inland from the river, agricultural water management is evident through several named catchments such as Coover Reservoir, Dittmer Reservoir, and Stevens Reservoir. The map illustrates a strictly organized section-line road system that gives way only to the natural contours of Silver Cr and the river's winding banks.
