About this map

Boys Town and the expanding residential outskirts of Omaha define this 2011 survey of western Douglas County. The landscape shows a mix of established rural infrastructure and rapid suburban development, particularly around the Omaha Regency and Green Meadows neighborhoods. Historically significant transit routes like the Old Lincoln Hwy and Military Rd cross the terrain, providing a look at the area's evolution from a prairie crossing to a primary residential corridor.

Water management and recreation are central to the region's layout, with Standing Bear Reservoir and Newport Landing Lake serving as focal points for the surrounding communities. Civil engineering is evident in structures like the Sachs-Palmer Dam and Papillion Creek Dam D-45. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the presence of Flower Hill Cemetery and Mount Calvary Cemetery, alongside localized services like the Bennington Post Office and Elkhorn Post Office.
