1893 Map of Omaha

About this map

The Missouri River forms the central spine of this 1893 landscape, serving as a shifting border between Nebraska and Iowa. The burgeoning street grids of Omaha and Council Bluffs dominate the southern portion of the sheet, while the river’s winding course creates a series of oxbow lakes, including Spoon Lake, Florence Lake, and Cutoff Lake. These water bodies are remnants of a dynamic river system that dictated the placement of settlements and vital rail lines.
