About this map

The Platte River corridor dominates this 2011 survey, showing a landscape defined by braided water channels and specialized land use. East of Ames, the river valley is a complex network of recreational and industrial sites, including the Fremont Cutoff Ditch and several sand and gravel excavations such as the North Pit. These operations have left a legacy of water-filled basins that now serve as community hubs, including Meadow Lake, Fremont Lake, and Leisure Lake.

Settlement patterns concentrate in the river valley at Fremont and Inglewood, and to the south at Cedar Bluffs, where the Cedar Bluffs Post Office remains a central landmark. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it documents numerous burial sites such as Pohocco Cemetery and Wiegand Cemetery. The infrastructure of the era is represented by the Fremont Municipal Airport and unique engineering features like the Camp Cedars B.S.A. Earth Dam.
