2014 Map of Lamar

About this map

Lamar stands as a quiet focal point in this 2014 survey of western Chase County, Nebraska. The landscape is defined by the steady geometric grid of section roads like 314 Ave and 740 RD, which traverse the undulating terrain of the High Plains. Drainage patterns are dictated by the intermittent flows of Wildhorse Cr to the north and Frenchman Cr to the south, the latter feeding into the Arterburn Reservoir. For those researching family history, the Green Lawn Cem sits south of town along the creek banks. The presence of Larrabee Airport and numerous rural homesteads connected by numbered routes illustrates the modern agricultural character of the region. Distinctive natural features such as Sand Draw and Walnut Slough break the prairie's uniformity, revealing the subtle hydrology of this Nebraska panhandle borderland.
