2021 Map of Leshara

About this map

The Platte River corridor defines the geography of this Nebraska landscape, where the braided river channel serves as the natural boundary between Saunders and Douglas counties. The village of Leshara sits centrally on the western bank, surrounded by a grid of rural roads such as Co RD 7 and Co RD S. This area reveals a pattern of early prairie settlement and subsequent agricultural stability, evidenced by local landmarks like Little Flower Cem and Pleasant View Cem. To the east, the town of Valley and the Werner Airport represent more concentrated development near the river bend. The terrain is marked by numerous drainage systems including Otoe Creek, Upper Clear Creek, and Big Slough, illustrating the complex hydrology of the river bottomlands. Further south, the settlement of Yutan marks the lower reaches of the survey, connected by a network of county highways and local routes.
