1968 Map of Fremont West

About this map

Platte River islands and braided channels dominate this landscape, which reveals a complex network of sand pits and recreation lakes just west of Fremont. The 1968 field survey shows a region defined by its water management and leisure sites, from the Fremont Cutoff Ditch to a cluster of riverside retreats including Summer Haven Lake, Leisure Lake, and Rainbow Lake. The transportation infrastructure of the era is clearly marked by the Union Pacific and Chicago and North Western lines, alongside an Old Railroad Grade that hints at earlier transit corridors.
