2010 Map of Plattsmouth

About this map

The Missouri River and Platte River converge in this eastern Nebraska corridor, shaping the development of Plattsmouth and its northern neighbors. The landscape is a mix of strategic military infrastructure and riverine bottomlands, dominated by the sprawling Offutt Air Force Base and the historic site of Fort Crook. In the lowlands near the confluence, the smaller settlements of La Platte and Oreapolis sit amidst a network of drainage ways like Zwiebel Creek and Fourmile Creek. Genealogists will find the La Platte Cemetery and Oak Hill Cemetery well-defined, while researchers of local recreation can identify early 21st-century landmarks such as Eppley Camp, Immanuel Camp, and several golf courses including Willow Lakes and Tregaron. The map also details water management features like Papillion Creek Reservoir S-31 and the Detention Dam 10-A near the Plattsmouth city center.
