2011 Map of Fort Calhoun

About this map

Fort Calhoun and the historic settlement of De Soto anchor this 2011 survey of the Missouri River valley north of Omaha. The landscape is defined by a complex network of water management and river geography, including Wilson Island and DeSoto Lake along the main channel. Smaller tributaries like Little Papillion Creek, Moores Creek, and Mill Creek cut through the bluffs, where numerous private impoundments such as Nixon Reservoir and Stratbucker Reservoir have been established. For those researching local heritage, the Pioneer Memorial Cemetery and the Fort Calhoun Post Office represent significant community landmarks. The area's transition from riverfront lowlands to upland plateaus is marked by a grid of county roads and distinctive sites like the Bil Lo Airport and Eagle Field, illustrating the modern development of this river-border region.
