About this map

The Platte River dominates this landscape in Dodge County, its wide, braided channels carving around prominent landforms like Bobkies Island and Pole Island. Along its northern banks, the community of Ames serves as a focal point, supported by the Ames Post Office and situated along the historic corridor of the Old Lincoln Hwy. The agricultural tablelands surrounding the river valley are surveyed into a precise grid of rural routes, from Co Road R in the north to Co Road W in the south.

Genealogists and local historians will find several significant burial sites across the township, including Saint Marys Cemetery, Fleming Cemetery, and Johannes Cemetery. The presence of numerous water bodies like Eason Lake, Legge Lake, and Wolf Lakes underscores the area's riparian character. This topographic study reflects the enduring settlement patterns of eastern Nebraska, where infrastructure follows the natural course of the river and the legacy of early transcontinental travel.
