About this map

Nebraska City serves as the focal point for this survey, where the Missouri River creates a winding border between Otoe County, Nebraska, and Fremont County, Iowa. The city's street grid is clearly defined, featuring thoroughfares such as Central Ave, 4th Corso, and the J Sterling Morton Beltway. A high density of burial sites, including Wyuka Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Saint Benedicts Cem, offers significant research value for genealogists tracing local families.

The surrounding agricultural landscape is etched with an extensive network of drainage projects like Mule Slough Ditch, Horse Cr Ditch, and Possum Ditch. The presence of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail follows the river's path, marking the historical significance of this corridor. Across the river in Iowa, the settlement of Payne sits near river features like Frazers Island and Schemmel Island, illustrating the dynamic nature of the river valley's geography.
