2017 Map of Silver Creek

About this map

Silver Creek sits at a strategic point north of the wide, braided Platte River valley in the eastern portion of Merrick County. This landscape is defined by its water systems, where the main river channel is joined by the South Channel Platte River, while Prairie Creek and Silver Creek meander across the agricultural flats. The settlement of Silver Creek is laid out on a grid including Vine Street and Chestnut Street, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural sections. To the southwest, the small locality of Havens marks a distinct point along the rail and road corridor. Genealogists and local historians can find burial sites at the Silver Creek Cemetery and Saint Lawrence Cemetery, both established near the creek beds. The map shows the intricate network of county roads, such as County Road 137 and South 400th Avenue, that bind these river communities together.
