2017 Map of North Bend

About this map

The Platte River forms a wide, braided boundary between Dodge and Saunders counties, defining the landscape around the town of North Bend. This modern topographic study shows the settled agricultural grid north of the river, where the North Bend community is organized around streets like N Cottonwood St and E 10th St. To the south, the terrain rises toward Indian Peak, where the topography shifts from river bottomlands to more complex, dissected bluffs near the village of Morse Bluff. Genealogists will find several resting places documented across the quadrangle, including Woodland Cem north of town, Old Cem near the riverbank, and Killian Cem in the southern hills. Notable water features like McGinns Lake and the N Bend Cutoff Ditch illustrate local efforts to manage the river's influence on the surrounding farmland.
