Let's Color the
Wetlands Map!
Color the places on the
Nebraska map using the
color key shown for each
numbered area, such as
1 = green. Some wetlands
have the same color in
different areas on the map.
complex is considered
an area with a grouping
of wetlands that are similar in
how they look and function.
Wetlands are spread
throughout Nebraska,
but it is useful to identify
some of the larger wetland
complexes in the state.
Wetlands can be found
everywhere! All rivers and
streams have wetlands. If
you look at the map, many
areas of Nebraska lie outside
of a wetland complex, but
that doesn't mean there
aren't wetlands in those
areas. From the busy cities
of Omaha and Lincoln to
the quiet rural towns,
wetlands can be found.
Various other wetlands
are indicated by the light
tan color on the map. If
you know of a wetland
near where you live, color
that in with the color of
your choice.
