1896 Map of Fremont

About this map

The Platte River and Elkhorn River dominate this late nineteenth-century landscape, carving a wide valley through eastern Nebraska. This area, surveyed by Jno. H. Renshawe and H.S. Wallace, shows a region defined by its critical rail junctions and river crossings. Major transport arteries like the Union Pacific R. R. and the Burlington and Missouri River R. R. intersect the terrain, connecting established settlements like Fremont and Ashland to burgeoning peripheral towns such as Gretna, Millard, and Waterloo.
