About this map

The South Platte River and North Platte River converge just east of the city, dominating the hydrologic character of this Nebraska landscape. The map details the complex braided waterways and seasonal wetlands of the river valley, where Brandy Island and Fremont Slough indicate the shifting nature of the plains' drainage systems. To the north, the North Platte Regional Airport Lee Bird Field occupies a significant portion of the plateau, while the southern terrain transitions into the distinct topography of Moran Canyon. Local history and infrastructure are marked by features like the Mariam Cem and the Tri County Supply Canal, which serve as vital markers for genealogists and researchers tracing the development of Lincoln County's water management and early settlement patterns.
