1971 Map of Lester

About this map

Lester serves as the central hub of this Lyon County agricultural landscape, situated at a junction of the Burlington Northern railroad. The town plan includes a local Park and a dedicated Sewage Disposal Pond to the south, reflecting the infrastructure of a growing rural community in the early 1970s. The surrounding townships of Larchwood, Allison, Logan, and Cleveland are defined by a strictly organized section-line road grid and the meandering course of Mud Creek, which cuts south through the center of the survey. Local genealogy is anchored by the Hillside Cem just north of town and the Apostolic Christian Cem further south. Notable transportation shifts are visible in several road segments marked as Abandoned, indicating changes to the rural highway network as farms consolidated.
