About this map

Homer serves as the primary settlement on this landscape, positioned where the hills meet the flat agricultural bottoms of the Missouri River valley. The Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad runs parallel to Omaha Creek, tracing the base of the bluffs and connecting local agriculture to wider markets. The southern portion of the map is defined by the Winnebago Indian Reservation Boundary, cutting across a topography of dissected ridges and small watercourses like Honey Creek and Big Bear Creek.

Cultural landmarks are concentrated around the township, including St Cornelius Cem, Omaha Valley Cem, and Combs Sch. The drainage of the bottomlands is managed through extensive engineering, evidenced by the Pigeon Creek Ditch and Omaha Creek Ditch. Along the river, a Powerplant and Gaging Station indicate the industrial and hydrological monitoring of this Nebraska-Iowa border region during the mid-1960s.
