1994 Map of Omaha North

About this map

Omaha and its historic northern neighborhoods dominate this mid-1990s landscape, illustrating the city's complex urban development along the western banks of the Missouri River. The area around the historic Florence district is clearly detailed, showing the relationship between the river's Florence Bend and major transportation corridors like the Mormon Bridge. The map captures a dense concentration of civic and spiritual institutions, from the towering St Cecilia Cathedral and the sprawling Creighton University campus to the medical complex of the Univ of Nebraska Medical Center. Across the water, the industrial and aviation hub of Eppley Airfield sits within the river's loops, while Council Bluffs appears on the eastern shore. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the detailed plotting of major burial grounds, including the expansive Forest Lawn Cemetery, Prospect Hill Cem, and Holy Sepulchre Cem.
