About this map

The Platte River meanders across this landscape, defining the boundary between Dodge County and Saunders County. Along its northern banks, the city of Fremont transitions from urban grid to riverside leisure communities like Fremont Beach and Midland Beach. The river's braided character is evident through features like Big Island and Fishermans Point, while the surrounding plains are punctuated by water bodies including Beaver Lake and Meadow Lake.

To the south, Cedar Bluffs serves as a rural anchor, with the terrain rising into low hills cut by Silver Creek. This area is a significant corridor for local history and genealogy, preserving numerous family and community burial grounds such as Pohocco Cem and Maple Grove Cem. The map captures a moment where the river-driven economy and aviation infrastructure at Fremont Municipal Airport meet the agricultural traditions of the Nebraska prairie.
