About this map

The Platte River defines the landscape of this 2014 survey, carving a broad valley through the eastern Nebraska plains. Along its banks and nearby tributaries, the settlements of Valley and Leshara anchor a rural grid of county roads and family-owned lands. The region's history is preserved in several small burial grounds, including Little Flower Cem and Pleasant View Cem, which offer significant genealogical markers for local families.

Transport and water management are central themes here, from the small-scale aviation at Werner Airport to the drainage patterns of Big Slough and Otoe Creek. To the south, Yutan marks the lower reaches of the quadrangle where Upper Clear Cr and Johnson Cr wind through the terrain. The map captures the continued importance of the river corridor as a focal point for settlement and infrastructure between Saunders and Douglas Counties.
