About this map

The braided channels of the Platte River dominate this mid-century survey of the Buffalo and Kearney county line. The river splits into the North Channel, Middle Channel, and South Channel, creating substantial landmasses like Killgore Island and Elm Island. This complex riparian environment is bounded to the north by the Union Pacific railroad and to the south by the Burlington Northern line, illustrating the critical transportation corridors that followed the river's path.
