2014 Map of Murray

About this map

Plattsmouth and its surrounding rural townships anchor this 2014 survey of eastern Cass County, where the landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Fourmile Cr and Eightmile Cr. The settlement pattern follows a grid of section-line roads, interspersed with family-named landmarks and local cemeteries such as Horning Cem and Otterbein Cem. Aviation infrastructure is prominent in the central corridor, featuring both the Plattsmouth Municipal Airport and the private Nolte Farms Airport. This era shows a significant concentration of water management features, ranging from the large recreational footprint of Beaver Lake to agricultural and municipal impoundments like Schlichtemeier Reservoir Number 1 and Plattsmouth Reservoir 12 A. Smaller hamlets like Mynard, Murray, and Todd remain distinct points along the north-south transit routes, maintaining their identity amidst the rolling agricultural terrain.
