About this map

Lexington anchors the northern edge of this Nebraska landscape, where the Platte River braided channel system defines the boundary between Dawson, Gosper, and Phelps counties. Large river features like Danielson Island and Jeffreys Island highlight the shifting nature of this waterway, while the Lexington Bridge provides a vital link across the wide floodplain near the mouth of Plum Creek. South of the river, the terrain transitions into the managed water systems of the Nebraska plains, marked by the Phelps County Canal and Phillippi Reservoir. This 2021 survey illustrates the complex relationship between agricultural water management and the natural river course. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Robb Cem situated in the central hills, a point of permanence amidst the expansive network of county roads like Dr 751 and Rd 435.
