Color postcard (14 x 9 cm.) with a view of a creek or body of water in Bemis Park, located at 34th and Cuming Streets in Omaha, Nebraska. No buildings or other man-made objects are visible.
Bemis was the first park acquired by the Park Commission in 1889. Owners of a strip of land 200 feet wide from 33rd to 36th Streets donated it for a park. Located just north of Cuming Street, it consists primarily of a deep, narrow ravine. Adjoining parcels were purchased, making the park about 10.5 acres. It connects to Hanscom Park via Lincoln and Turner Boulevards. Source: Wakeley, Arthur. Omaha: The Gate City and Douglas County Nebraska, Chicago: S. J. Clarke Publishing Company, c1917, p. 137.
