Approach control cleared us for visual approach to [Runway] 14R.  I turned right; towards ZATAR; the final approach fix; and started descending from 4;000 to the final approach fix altitude; 2;400.  We observed the 2;500-foot tower and passed several miles to the north of it.  The tower is approximately 5 nm east of OMA.The transition from the Pawnee City arrival to a visual approach to 14R places the aircraft in a position where the tower is difficult to locate and is in a location where the pilot will naturally be descending towards.  Our Jepp pages do not highlight this as a potential problem.Our Jepp page that shows how the tower interferes with a right traffic pattern to 14R.  The tower is at a normal traffic pattern altitude where a downwind to base turn would be made.  When arriving on the Pawnee City arrival; and landing 14R; a preferred route around the tower for a visual landing should be shown.   Also; approach control could vector the airplane safely North of the tower before giving the clearance for the approach.
Air carrier Captain reported a potential tower obstacle hazard to visual approach indicating the need to highlight on OMA approach page.
