About this map

The Platte River defines this landscape along the border of Saunders and Dodge counties, creating a complex network of sandbars and islands such as Bobkies Island and Pole Island. This modern survey highlights a region shaped by agricultural water management, evidenced by the Central Cutoff Ditch, Fremont Cutoff Ditch, and Ames Cutoff Ditch that crisscross the northern lowlands. Near the settlement of Ames, traces of early transcontinental travel persist along the Old Lincoln Hwy. Local history and genealogy are preserved in rural cemetery sites scattered across the township grid, including Saint Marys Cem and Fleming Cem. Further south, the Fremont Bluffs Trl follows the river's edge, while oxbow features like Scotts Lake and Legges Lake mark the river's historical shifts through the valley floor.
