1962 Map of Newark

About this map

The Old Fort Kearney Military Reservation Boundary anchors the center of this Nebraska landscape, tracing the historical footprint of a vital frontier post. The braided waters of the Platte River dominate the midsection of the map, split into the North Channel, Middle Channel, and South Channel. This complex river system surrounds significant landforms like Killgore Island and Elm Island, where intricate sloughs such as Whisky Slough and drainage networks like Crooked Creek define the low-lying terrain.
