2017 Map of Lewellen

About this map

Lewellen sits at the northern edge of the North Platte River valley, serving as a hub for the intricate irrigation networks that define this portion of Garden County. The landscape is characterized by a sophisticated system of water management, including the Midland Overland Canal, Union Canal, and Graf Canal, which terrace the land above the river. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the bluffs and canyons of the Ash Hollow area, a location of significant transit for early travelers. Local history and genealogy are anchored by landmarks such as Durham Cem and the Ash Hollow Cem, while natural features like Signal Bluff and Clay Peak provide prominent navigational points above the irrigated plains. The map illustrates the juxtaposition of engineered waterways and the river's braided channels against the complex topography of the southern breaks.
