About this map

The Missouri River serves as the western boundary for this 2010 survey of the borderlands between Iowa and Nebraska. The low-lying terrain is defined by a series of natural and man-made water bodies including Schilling Lake, Folsom Lake, and Mile Hill Lake, while several hollows like Wall Hollow and Indian Hollow carve through the landscape to the north. These features highlight the complex hydrology of the floodplains surrounding Pacific Junction and Pacific City.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, including the Wall Cemetery, Gowen Cemetery, Evan Lloyd Cemetery, and Martin Chapel Cemetery. These family and community landmarks, alongside the Pacific Junction Post Office, offer a clear view of the rural settlement patterns that have persisted around the larger hubs of Plattsmouth and Glenwood. The Folsom Wildlife Area preserves a significant portion of the riverfront, contrasting with the developed infrastructure of the Pacific Junction South Bound Rest Area along the major transit corridor.
