About this map

The Platte River forms a wide, braided divide between Dodge and Saunders counties, defining the geography of this 2014 survey. To the north, the expanding street grid of Fremont and the small enclave of Inglewood sit adjacent to the Fremont Municipal Airport. This area is characterized by an extensive system of sandpit lakes and recreational water bodies along the riverbanks, including Fremont Lake, Victory Lake, and Rainbow Lake.

South of the river, the landscape shifts to the agricultural bluffs where Cedar Bluffs is situated. The map provides significant detail for genealogical research, documenting numerous rural burial grounds such as Pohocco Cem, Maple Grove Cem, and Wiegand Cem. Infrastructure like the Fremont Cutoff Ditch and the Bnsf RR corridor illustrate the management of the prairie landscape and the region's continued reliance on rail transport.
