About this map

The western suburbs of Omaha expand into a landscape defined by significant water management and recreation projects in this 2011 record. The map reveals a dense network of residential subdivisions spreading south and west from the city core, particularly around the large basins of Zorinsky Lake and Wehrspann Lake. These reservoirs, created by structures like the Wiebe Dam, serve as focal points for the surrounding suburban growth near the settlements of Chalco and Skyline.

Genealogical interest is found in the scattered historical burial grounds that predate the modern housing tracts, including Mount Auburn Cemetery, Voss Mohr Cemetery, Pennsylvania Cemetery, and La Borde Cemetery. In the southwestern corner, the town of Gretna maintains its identity with its own Gretna Post Office and street grid. The local transportation and small-scale aviation infrastructure is represented by the Willowood Airport, tucked between developing neighborhoods and Boxelder Creek.
