1896 Map of Fremont
USGS Topo · Published 1896About this map
The confluence of the Platte River and Elkhorn River dominates this eastern Nebraska landscape at the end of the nineteenth century. This era of westward expansion is clearly defined by a dense lattice of competing railroads, including the Union Pacific R.R. and the Chicago and North Western Line, which fueled the growth of vital transport hubs like Fremont and Papillion. The map reveals the early township structures of Dodge and Washington counties, where small settlements such as Fontanelle, Arlington, and Gretna served as agricultural anchors.
