About this map

Grand Island and the neighboring community of Parkview are shown here during a period of modern expansion along the Platte River valley. The landscape is defined by the complex water systems of the Platte and the Wood River, which feed several recreational water bodies including Kuesters Lake, Crystal Lake, and L E Ray Lake. This 2011 survey highlights the dense grid of the city center, including the Grand Island Post Office, alongside the significant infrastructure of the Central Nebraska Regional Airport and the horse racing facilities at Fonner Park.

The map reveals the area's agricultural and industrial layout through a network of roads like Ammunition Way and Stockyards Ln, reflecting the local economic history. Genealogists can locate the East Grand Island Cemetery and trace the residential developments extending toward the Warm Slough. The detailed street names and drainage patterns provide a comprehensive view of how this central Nebraska hub has managed its riverfront geography.
