Southeast Research and Extension Center Demographic Data About the Maps Agriculture Series National Series Population Series Geography (Just click on image for larger view) A basic understanding of Nebraska geography is essential to interpreting the maps that are found on these pages. The maps were developed to assist faculty in the Southeast Extension District in developing a strategic plan for adult and youth educational programs in that region of the state. The Southeast Extension District includes 21-counties, and is one of five-Extension Districts in Nebraska. By 1990 Census definition, there were four Metropolitan counties in Nebraska. Three of these, Douglas, Sarpy and Lancaster, are located in the Southeast Extension District. Douglas and Sarpy Counties are included in the Omaha Metropolitan Area, and Lancaster County defines the Lincoln Metropolitan Area. Omaha and Lincoln are the only cities in Nebraska having a population larger than 100,000 persons. The fourth Metro county, Dakota, is part of the Sioux City Metro Area. Together, these four counties are home to just over half of all Nebraskans. Interstate 80 runs the length of the state, and is the only Interstate Highway in Nebraska. The influence of the I-80 corridor will be evident in many of the maps that are found on these pages.

NEGenWeb Project Resource Center On-Line Library EARLY MAPS OF THE NEBRASKA COUNTRY By PROF. C. E. PERSINGER, DEPARTMENT OF AMERICAN HISTORY, UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA Attempts to portray the actual geography of the region now included in our state of Nebraska began with the exploration of the Mississippi by the Frenchmen Joliet and Marquette in 1673. The maps of Marquette (1673-1674), Joliet (1674), and Thevenot (1681) are all based upon the information gleaned by these explorers on their journey down the Mississippi. All three show nothing more of the Nebraska country than a short stretch of the lower Missouri river running into the Mississippi from the. northwest, and beyond the end of this the names of Indian villages, some of which names are those of Indians we now know to have inhabited the Nebraska country at that time. Following La Salle's further exploration of the Mississippi in 1681-1682, a series of maps by the French geographer Franquelin (at that time in Canada) shows the full Missouri river system, with its main course about where the Platte is shown on our present-day maps. About 1720 quite a group of maps covering the Nebraska country appeared, put out by French, English, and Dutch, but all containing practically the same sketching of western geography. Of these, those most nearly approximating the modern geography were one by the French Delisle (shown on another page of this paper), and one accompanying a publication put out at London in 1720 by Dr. James Smith.

Geography Bee Geography Bee Information A World Class Geography Bee Right in Your Own School ! By GEON TC Steve McCarville Every year thousands of schools participate in the National Geographic-sponsored Geography Bee. In the past several years, Nebraska alone averages over 300 participating schools: public, parochial, private and home-school. My school, St. Pius X-St. Leo in Omaha, has been participating since the Bee's inception in 1989. I have been asked to share with you how our school of 1000 students runs the bee. First, you must register your school for the bee if this is your first time. The registration form will require your principal's signature. It is best to go through this process in August because the registration deadline is October 15. If you have participated before, you should be contacted by NGS as to whether you want to participate again. (See the address at this article's end.) You should receive the bee materials in the mail in mid-November. If your school registers, it will receive an instruction booklet which explains how to hold your school Bee so that it is structured in the same way as the state and national geography Bee competitions. I modify the instructions and run our school bee in the following manner:

Curriculum: Social Studies Menu: Business CTE English Gifted ... Science Search the Internet: Social Studies Consultant: Karen Stanley 436-1805 e-mail: kstanle@lps.org The primary purpose of Social Studies instruction is to develop capable citizens of a democratic society who are empowered with knowledge, skills, and attitudes which enable them to make informed decisions in a culturally diverse and interdependent world. The scope of Social Studies content in the Lincoln Public Schools reflects State Social Studies Standards, and falls within the definition of Social Studies from National Council of Social Studies (NCSS): Social Studies is the integrated study of the social sciences and humanities to promote civic competence. Within the school program, social studies provides coordinated, systematic instruction drawing upon such disciplines as anthropology, archaeology, economics, geography, history, law, philosophy, political science, psychology, religion, and sociology, as well as appropriate content from the humanities, mathematics, and natural sciences. Elementary School -Social Studies in Kindergarten, first and second grades is taught through interdisciplinary units of study. K-2 students first begin to develop skills in geography, and learn about their families, their school, and the neighborhood. Second graders understand the meaning of and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Third graders study the Community of Lincoln. The Downtown Walking Tour is a strong community link to the third grade classroom. Fourth graders study geographic regions of the United States, with a focus on Nebraska geography and settlements. A one-day, 1890 simulation at Heritage School is an integral part of the fourth grade curriculum. Fifth graders study U.S. beginning with the establishment of indigenous people in North America through the events of the 1800s. Stories of the struggle for freedom and equality focus on multicultural, as well as historical, knowledge.

Name That Spot Nebraska Geography Learner Outcomes The students will learn about cities and towns in NE. The students will have an understanding of the following: location, history, ethnic dominance, industry, and landmarks. The students will exhibit the ability to use hypermedia to make a presentation. Concept Introduction Most students study geography by examining political maps with borders clearly marked and therefore learn little about the physical landscape. Students will use AVHRR images of Nebraska to study the geography of Nebraska and will create a hypermedia presentation including the following: locations, history, ethnic dominance, industry, and landmarks. Students will work cooperatively in pairs to research information on a city of their choice. The Virtual Nebraska site will be a starting point for their research. Upon completion, they will share their information with their classmates. Additionally, the Hypermedia (Hyperstudio, Hypercard, Powerpoint, etc.) presentations may subsequently be viewed by other classes. Teacher Background This is info the teacher needs to have to be able to complete this unit including links to tech skills, procedures and materials.
