2011 Map of Lamar NE

About this map

Spring Creek meanders through the northwest and southeast corners of this western Nebraska landscape, serving as the primary natural feature in an area otherwise defined by a precise section-line road grid. The 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals a sparsely populated agricultural region in Chase County, where long-distance travel is facilitated by a network of numbered thoroughfares including 750 Rd and 322 Ave. A distinct Landing Strip situated north of the creek highlights the modern necessity of aerial access for large-scale farming operations and ranching. The map illustrates the characteristic High Plains settlement pattern, with homesteads positioned along gravel routes like 746 Rd and 749 Rd, maintaining a connection to the intermittent water sources that have historically shaped land use in this part of the state.
