2011 Map of Lemmon NE

About this map

Lemmon Municipal Airport serves as a prominent landmark in this corner of the Rock Creek District, anchoring the western edge of a landscape defined by prairie water management and a grid of rural section roads. The hydrology of the region is punctuated by several small reservoirs and earthen works, including Organge Dam which holds back Township Lake, and the Allen Robinson Dam situated to the south. These features reveal the critical importance of water storage in this high plains environment. Plum Creek meanders across the northern and eastern sections of the quadrangle, while Thunder Hawk Creek flows through the southwestern reaches. The strictly organized network of roads, such as Airport Rd, 197th Ave, and 4th Ave SE, highlights the systematic division of land characteristic of the northern plains.
