Union: US 34: US 34 at US 75: Home
Tucked into southeastern Nebraska’s Missouri River valley, Union is a place whose character is shaped by fertile farmland and the meeting of US Routes 34 and 75. The small community lies amid the broad agricultural country of Cass County, where fields and shelterbelts follow gently rolling ground above the river. US 75 forms a north–south corridor through eastern Nebraska, while US 34 links the area west toward Lincoln and east across the Missouri into Iowa. Union’s setting also places it near Nebraska City, where Arbor Day was first observed in 1872; the city remains home to the Arbor Day Foundation.

Nebraska occupies a broad central stretch of the Great Plains in the United States. The Platte River crosses its southern half, its wide valley long serving as a natural east–west corridor through the prairie. In the north, the Nebraska Sandhills form one of the world’s largest areas of grass-stabilized sand dunes, while western Nebraska becomes drier and more rugged. Much of the Oregon Trail followed the Platte River corridor, linking the state to the great nineteenth-century migration west. Today, working farms, ranches, university cities and expansive open country all remain central to Nebraska’s identity.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
