2021 Map of Gibbon South

About this map

The braided channels of the North Channel Platte River, Middle Channel Platte River, and South Channel Platte River dominate this Central Nebraska landscape. The intricate river system creates a series of substantial landmasses, including Fort Farm Island, Carl Island, and Clark Island, which define the geography between the northern settlement of Gibbon and the southern area of Lowell. This configuration reveals the historical complexity of navigating and settling the Platte valley, where the water’s path dictated the placement of roads like Elm Island Rd.
