2011 Map of Lewellen

About this map

The North Platte River braided channels define the central landscape of this western Nebraska survey, where the village of Lewellen serves as a primary hub for the surrounding ranching and farming community. The irrigation infrastructure is particularly dense here, featuring an intricate network of waterways including the Midland Overland Canal, Union Canal, and Graf Canal, which draw from the river and Blue Creek to support the arid valley. Local history and genealogy are anchored by landmarks like the Ash Hollow Cemetery and Durham Cemetery, while the Garden County Fairgrounds and Js Otter Creek Resort indicate the area's role in regional gatherings and outdoor recreation. Notable elevations such as Signal Bluff and Clay Peak rise above the river valley, providing significant topographic relief against the grid of section roads that crisscross the plains.
