1968 Map of Wann

About this map

The Platte River and Elkhorn River converge in this 1960s landscape, creating a complex network of sandbars, islands, and floodplains. This area, largely defined by the Two Rivers State Recreation Area, shows a transition from the riparian lowlands of the river bottoms to the rolling hills of Forest City and Marble. The map captures the infrastructure of the late 1960s, including the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railroad skirting the eastern edge near Gretna. Local history is preserved in the location of School No 24 and the Two Rivers Ch, alongside small aviation markers like Ruser Airfield. The drainage patterns are managed through the Diversion Channel and the Western Sarpy Ditch, reflecting the agricultural and recreational development of the Platte-Elkhorn junction.
