About this map

The Platte River and Elkhorn River converge in this river-dominated landscape west of Omaha, creating a complex network of channels, sandbars, and floodplain developments. Small communities like Venice and Skyline are situated near these watercourses, while the more substantial settlement of Gretna anchors the southeastern corner. The area is characterized by a significant recreational presence along the riverbanks, evidenced by a dense cluster of sites including Cottonwood Campground, Oak Grove Campground, and Woods Landing Campground and RV Park. Local history is preserved at the Elkhorn Cemetery and Holy Sepulcher Cemetery. Water management is visible through the Diversion Channel and various ponds like Lake Platte View and Big Sandy Lake, reflecting a region shaped by both natural riparian movement and human engineering for agriculture and leisure.
