About this map

The Platte River corridor defines the southern landscape of Kearney in this 2017 survey, where a complex network of braided waterways including the North Channel Platte River, Walker Channel, and Middle Channel Platte River create a series of named landforms such as Black Island, Evarts Island, and Killgore Island. This hydrologic environment is further shaped by the Kearney Canal and several man-made water bodies like Kea Lake and Staubitz and Holmes Reservoir.

Urban development centers on the University of Nebraska at Kearney and the sprawling residential blocks of the city, reaching north toward Glenwood Park. To the northeast, the Kearney Regional Airport marks a significant modern infrastructure point. For those tracing local history, the Kearney Cem and the distinct drainage patterns of Whisky Slough and the Crooked Cr Ditch offer specific points of interest across the Buffalo and Kearney County line.
