2011 Map of Gibbon South

About this map

The braided channels of the Platte River dominate this 2011 survey, illustrating a complex riparian landscape south of Gibbon. This particular stretch is defined by the North Channel, Middle Channel, and South Channel, which carve out significant landmasses such as Carl Island, Clark Island, and Elm Island. The settlement of Gibbon sits in the northwest, marked by its Gibbon Post Office, while the small community of Lowell is situated further south near the edge of the river bottom. The grid of rural roads, including Coal Chute Rd and Elm Island Rd, reflects the agricultural heritage of the region. To the southeast, the Saint Paul Cemetery remains a quiet landmark on the prairie, providing a fixed point for genealogical research among the shifting channels and irrigation ways like Dry Creek.
