2010 Map of Fort Calhoun

About this map

The Missouri River defines the eastern boundary of this Nebraska landscape, where the historic settlement of Fort Calhoun serves as the primary hub of activity. The area is marked by a complex system of water management, evidenced by several detention structures and basins including Nixon Reservoir, Nelson Reservoir, and Lake Arrowhead. Genealogy and local history are anchored by the Pioneer Memorial Cemetery, while the northern portion of the quadrangle shows the small community of De Soto near the banks of DeSoto Lake. The topography is shaped by numerous seasonal and permanent waterways such as Little Papillion Creek and Turkey Creek that carve through the agricultural uplands. Evidence of regional infrastructure is visible through landmarks like the Bil Lo Airport and the Fort Calhoun Post Office, illustrating the intersection of rural residential growth and established river valley transport corridors during the early 21st century.
