2014 Map of Lawrence

About this map

The town of Lawrence serves as the primary hub in this Nebraska landscape, situated near the intersection of Ne-4 and S Stephens St. The map illustrates a region defined by its water management and rural burial grounds, including the Oak Creek Cem and Presbyterian Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in Nuckolls and Webster counties. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of seasonal waterways such as Crooked Cr, Oak Cr, and Liberty Cr, which feed into local catchments like the Mazour Reservoir and Dolnicek Reservoir. This intricate drainage pattern suggests a landscape where water preservation is critical to the agricultural economy. Smaller settlements like Rosemont and Saint Stephens anchor the surrounding sections, connected by a grid of rural roads like Road U and Road Z that follow the section lines of the Great Plains.
