About this map

The Union Pacific railroad cuts a straight line through the central Platte Valley landscape, anchoring the settlement of Miller as a regional transport hub in the early 1960s. This survey highlights the intersection of transportation and topography, where the village is positioned just north of Cherry Valley Creek and south of the winding Wood River. The map provides a clear look at the township divisions of Harrison, Wood River, and Armada, reflecting the organized land management of rural Buffalo County.

Beyond the tracks, the landscape is defined by its watercourses and agricultural infrastructure. To the northeast of the town center lies the Armada Cem, a vital point of interest for genealogists tracing local families. The terrain transitions from the river bottomlands to the breaks near Otter Cr, while numerous marked wells and a small Reservoir indicate the vital importance of water management in this Nebraska prairie environment.
