1974 Map of Lemmon NE

About this map

The Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad bisects this Dakota landscape, tracing a horizontal path along the border of Adams and Perkins Counties. The map captures the interface between North and South Dakota in the 1970s, defined by large land tracts and the sprawling Standing Rock Indian Reservation Boundary to the east. Transportation and aviation infrastructure are central to this area, anchored by the Lemmon Municipal Airport with its associated Beacon and adjacent Golf Course. Natural drainage is defined by the winding course of Plum Creek and Thunder Hawk Creek, which cut through the high plains. Industrial activity is sparsely represented by a Gravel Pit near the northern boundary of Orange township, while Township Lake provides a rare localized water feature in this expansive ranching and agricultural region.
