About this map

North Platte serves as the focal point for this landscape where the North Platte River and South Platte River converge to form the Platte River. The geography is defined by complex water management and transportation corridors, featuring the Tri-County Supply Canal and several ancient drainage patterns like the Fremont Slough. Land use transitions from the industrial and educational infrastructure near the city, such as Mid Plains Community College - North and the North Platte Regional Airport Lee Bird Field, to the more dissected terrain of the south. This southern portion is marked by Moran Canyon and rural landmarks like the Miriam Cem, which sit among a network of section-line roads such as S Platte View Rd and District 31 School Rd. The presence of Brandy Island near the confluence highlights the shifting nature of these Nebraska riverbeds over time.
