November 1994 Situated in the heart of the United States farming and agricultural region, the cities of Omaha, Nebraska, and Council Bluffs, Iowa, are evident in this west-southwest-looking, low-oblique photograph. Visible is the south-flowing Platte River as it turns eastward to join the south-flowing Missouri River 20 miles (32 kilometers) south of Omaha, one of the largest livestock markets and meat processing centers in the world.
