2014 Map of Fort Calhoun

About this map

Fort Calhoun and the surrounding river bluffs are detailed in this 2014 survey, highlighting the complex water management and transportation systems north of the Omaha city limits. The landscape is defined by the Missouri River and its associated features like Wilson Island and DeSoto Lake, which sit at the state line between Iowa and Nebraska. Local history is evident at the Pioneer Memorial Cem and the settlement of De Soto near the northern edge of the quadrangle. The map captures a mix of rural and developing residential terrain, with a dense network of reservoirs including Stratbucker Reservoir and Nixon Reservoir supporting the region. Significant infrastructure such as the Blair Municipal Airport and the route of Us-75 underscore the area's role as a vital corridor between established river towns and the growing metropolitan periphery.
