2014 Map of Homer

About this map

Homer serves as the primary settlement on this landscape where the Missouri River floodplain meets the rising loess hills of eastern Nebraska. The town's grid, including George St and James St, is nestled against the bluffs near the confluence of Fiddlers Cr and Omaha Cr. This 2014 survey documents a complex system of water management, visible through the extensive Pigeon Cr Ditch and Omaha Creek Ditch networks that drain the lowlands between the bluffs and the Missouri River. Local heritage is anchored by sites like Saint Cornelius Cem on the northern edge of town and Omaha Valley Cem situated further south near Overfelt Reservoir. The map captures the meeting of three counties — Woodbury, Dakota, and Thurston — and the interstate boundary between Iowa and Nebraska along the river's winding course.
