Missouri Shaping the Metro Extended Conversation

This is the extended conversation on how the Missouri River shaped the Omaha metro area including why Iowa's Carter Lake is in Nebraska and Nebraska's former Lake Manawa in Iowa.

Special thanks to local historian Troy Stolp for sharing this story.

He went on to earn journalism and law degrees from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, served as an officer in the U.S. Army, and has worked for radio and television stations across the United States. He is a big advocate for community media and loves being a part of the local fabric of NPR. He also has a cat, Pickles.
