About this map

The Missouri River carves a winding path between Omaha, Nebraska, and Council Bluffs, Iowa, anchoring a landscape defined by significant 21st-century infrastructure and historic burial grounds. This southern portion of the metropolitan area reveals a dense network of neighborhoods such as South Omaha and Bellevue, where academic institutions like Metropolitan Community College South Omaha Campus and Bellevue Univ serve the growing population. To the south, the sprawling footprint of Offutt Air Force Base dominates the terrain near the confluence of Big Papillion Creek and the river.

Genealogists will find a wealth of primary data across numerous dedicated sites, including Graceland Park Cem, Laurel Hill Cem, and the Beth Hamedrosh Hagodel Cem. The map tracks the vital transportation corridors that drive the local economy, from the BNSF Railway lines to the Ruckl Airport along the Gibson Bend of the river. This survey provides a clear view of the complex urban and military geography of the Sarpy and Douglas County borders.
