2014 Map of Wann

About this map

Platte River and Elkhorn River dominate the landscape west of Omaha, defining the boundaries where Douglas, Sarpy, and Saunders counties meet. This 2014 survey captures the distinct hydrologic character of the region, from the engineered Diversion Channel and Western Sarpy Ditch to the riverside settlements of Venice and Lake Platte View. The map illustrates a complex network of residential developments and rural expanses, notably around the growing community of Gretna and the smaller locality of Wann. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint significant landmarks such as Elkhorn Cem and Holy Sepulcher Cem, while also tracing the drainage patterns of S Papillion Cr and Clear Cr. The intersection of major thoroughfares like W Center Rd with established lakes like Trout Lake and Big Sandy Lake highlights the area's transition between agricultural roots and modern suburban expansion.
