depicts a bustling military community astride the continental Union Pacific Railroad and flanked on the north and east by the Platte River.

Although the variety flora is limited, bitter cottonwood trees grown profusely with a smattering of pine and fir along the river bottom. Gramma and needle grass, artemisia (sagebrush) and salt-week sparsely cover the surrounding alkaline plains.

"A garden has been made but the result seems to warrant the statement that the season is too short, generally for garden vegetables." - Marcy, "Outline Description: Post & Stations of Troops," 1872.
