2017 Map of Platte Center

About this map

Platte Center serves as the primary hub of this eastern Nebraska agricultural landscape, where the town layout is defined by a grid of streets including Central Hwy and 1st St. The surrounding countryside in Platte County is shaped by an intricate network of waterways, most notably Shell Cr and Elm Cr, which meander through a dense section-line road system. Significant local landmarks for genealogists and historians include Saint Patricks Cem and Stretter Cem, marking early community roots. To the south, the Loup River Canal cuts across the terrain near the small settlement of Lakeview, while the Goedeken Reservoir provides a notable water management feature amidst the drainage basins of Loseke Cr and Schaad Cr.
