2017 Map of Irvington

About this map

Omaha expansion and the rural-urban interface of northwest Douglas County define this study, where suburban growth meets longstanding agricultural communities. The settlement of Irvington serves as a central hub, flanked by the residential developments spreading toward the historic Boys Town and smaller locales like Briggs and Debolt. Water management is a dominant landscape feature, with large-scale projects like Glenn Cunningham Lake, Standing Bear Reservoir, and the Candlewood Reservoir shaping the modern topography. Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks, including the Springwell Danish Cem, Mount Hope Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem, which preserve the community's heritage amidst the evolving city. The map also documents educational and aviation assets, such as the Nebraska Methodist College and the North Omaha Airport, illustrating the complex infrastructure of a growing Midwestern metropolitan fringe.
