About this map

The Platte River corridor dominates this central Nebraska landscape, defining the agricultural and transit patterns of Merrick and Polk counties. The village of Silver Creek serves as the primary hub, situated just north of the river's main flow and the S Channel Platte River. The grid of rural roads, including Silver Creek Rd and 33rd Rd, reflects a century of land division that supports the region's farming economy.

Genealogists will find interest in the proximity of Silver Creek Cem and Saint Lawrence Cem, which anchor the local history of these prairie settlements. To the southwest, the small community of Havens marks another point of settlement along the river valley. The map also traces the winding paths of Prairie Creek and Clear Cr as they move through the flat bottomlands toward their confluence with the Platte.
