This isn't exactly where it is shown on the map, but pretty close. The monument is up on top of a hill, which provides a great view of Council Bluffs and Omaha.

Beautiful overlook, especially at sunset. We found it easily with GPS. Bathrooms were extremely dirty with no running water. Other than that, we enjoyed this stop!

Great place to stretch your legs and walk the dirt trail in the woods. Beautiful view of Omaha and Council Bluffs.
