About this map

The Missouri River defines the landscape of this Burt County region, carving its way along the border between Nebraska and Iowa. The river's winding path is marked by significant hydrological features such as Lower Decatur Bend, Upper Louisville Bend, and Lower Blencoe Bend. These sweeping curves reflect the dynamic nature of the waterway, which has historically shifted and shaped the surrounding bottomlands. The settlement of Decatur sits in the northwest corner of the map, serving as a key point of reference near the confluence of local routes like S Riverview Dr.

Further inland, the flat agricultural plains are supported by a network of drainage infrastructure, including the Wychoff Ditch and Riverside Ditch. The map details a dense grid of county roads, including Co Rd 38 and Filbert Ave, which facilitate movement through the fertile valley. This survey captures the modern alignment of the river and the established land divisions that define this rural borderland.
