About this map

The Platte River and Elkhorn River converge in this western Omaha corridor, creating a landscape defined by water management and river-bottom topography. The survey shows the complex hydrologic network of the region, including the Western Sarpy Ditch, Clear Creek, and the Diversion Channel south of Venice. These water systems bisect the rural Saunders, Douglas, and Sarpy County lines, where the land transitions from the active floodplains to the growing residential fringes of Gretna.

Local history is preserved in the location of the Elkhorn Cemetery and Holy Sepulcher Cemetery, alongside small settlements like Wann. The map also details the numerous recreational and industrial lakes that dot the river valley, such as Trout Lake, Big Sandy Lake, and Lake Platte View. This detailed topographical view provides a record of the area's infrastructure, from established routes like W Center Road to the suburban street grids pushing westward from the Omaha metropolitan area.
