2014 Map of Polk NW

About this map

Central City serves as the focal point for this 2014 survey of Merrick County, where the eastern edge of the community meets a landscape dominated by the braided channels of the Platte River. The map illustrates a meticulously gridded agricultural region, punctuated by waterways like Silver Cr and the Warm Slough, which weave through the Platte's alluvial plain. Genealogists and local historians will find the Central City Cem on the western margin, while the complex river system is highlighted by large landforms such as Prairie Island and Hurley Island. This USGS topo sheet details a modern Nebraska rural economy, showing the precise intersection of state routes like Ne-14 and Ne-92 with the local township road system that defines property lines and access across the Platte Valley.
