2014 Map of Springfield

About this map

The Platte River defines the southern reach of this landscape, marking the boundary between Sarpy County and Cass County. This section of Nebraska shows a transition from the agricultural uplands toward the river valley, where the small settlements of Springfield and Gretna serve as local anchors. Several watercourses, including Buffalo Creek, Turtle Creek, and Springfield Creek, drain the undulating terrain toward the south. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, such as Springfield Memorial Cem and the Ball Cem located further south. The map also records the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, including the Koke Airport west of the central hills and the Turtle Creek Reservoir 2. To the south, the community of Louisville sits just across the water, connected by the regional artery of State Highway 50.
