Omaha's northwestern expansion is frozen in time during the mid-1950s, showing the conversion of Douglas County farmland into residential grids. The map highlights the sprawling University of Omaha campus and the prominent Boys Town complex, which remains a distinct community on the western edge of the city. Aviation activity is surprisingly dense in this era, with North Omaha Airport, Clear Ridge Airport, and the Sky Ranch Landing Field all serving the region alongside the Omaha Air Force Station.
