2014 Map of Gibbon South

About this map

The braided waters of the Platte River dominate this landscape south of Gibbon, where the river splits into the North Channel, Middle Channel, and South Channel. This complex fluvial system creates a series of named landmasses, including Fort Farm Island, Carl Island, and Clark Island. The map illustrates the boundary between Buffalo and Kearney counties as it follows the shifting course of the southern channel, a detail of significant interest for local land records and historical boundary research.
