About this map

The Missouri River carves a complex boundary through this reach of Fremont County, defining the interstate line between Nebraska and Iowa. The landscape is a study in hydrological management, where the natural meanders and chutes like E Chute and East Chute exist alongside an extensive network of drainage infrastructure. Man-made features such as the Scott Township Ditch, Mule Slough Ditch, and Mustard Lateral illustrate the transformation of the floodplains for agricultural utility.

Small settlements and historic burial sites are scattered across the lowland and bluff edges. Local family history and geography are anchored by sites such as Kenosha Cem in the north and Eaton Cem further south. The community of McPaul and the nearby Crocker Spur reflect the area's transportation and small-town roots, while Forneys Lake remains a prominent natural landmark in the eastern section of the quadrangle.
