1896 Map of Kearney
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
The Platte River and its complex network of channels and islands, such as Evarts Island and Black Island, anchor the southern portion of this late 19th-century Nebraska landscape. The settlement of Kearney emerges as a significant rail hub, where the Union Pacific R. R. and the Burlington and Missouri River R. R. (Kearney Branch) converge. North of the river, the Kearney Canal feeds into Echo Lake and Greenwood Lake, illustrating early irrigation and water management efforts in the region.
