2021 Map of West Point

About this map

West Point serves as the focal point of this Eastern Nebraska landscape, situated along the winding course of the Elkhorn River. The town's grid is dense with civic and educational markers, including the Cuming County Courthouse and the Northeast Community College West Point Extended Campus, reflecting its role as a regional center. Surrounding the municipality are several significant burial grounds, such as Saint Michael Cem, Saint Josephs Cem, and Mount Hope Cem, providing essential data points for family historians. The transition from the urban center to the agricultural periphery is marked by a network of waterways and drainage, including Plum Creek, Wortmans Cr, and Fisher Cr, alongside recreation-focused features like the Upper Elkhorn River Trl. Notable oxbow lakes such as Horseshoe Lake and McKirahan Lake punctuate the river valley, illustrating the geomorphology of the plains.
