About this map

The confluence of the Platte River and the Elkhorn River dominates this landscape on the border of Saunders, Douglas, and Sarpy counties. The complex hydrology of the river valley is evident in the Western Sarpy Ditch, the Diversion Channel, and numerous oxbow lakes such as Trout Lake and Big Sandy Lake. A unique recreational and environmental character is highlighted by an extensive network of trails, including the The Narrows Trl, Brushbusters Trl, and Horse Camp Trl, which navigate the riparian terrain near The Narrows.

Settlement patterns are anchored by the community of Wann in the southwest and the expanding reach of Gretna to the southeast. Near the northern edge, Venice and the residential area of Lake Platte View sit adjacent to the riverbanks, while the outskirts of Omaha appear in the northeast corner. Cultural sites such as Holy Sepulcher Cem and Elkhorn Cem provide essential points of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this river-valley corridor.
