2013 Map of Lewis

About this map

Lewis serves as the central hub of this Cass County landscape, situated along the banks of the E Nishnabotna River. The town grid is clearly defined by historical thoroughfares such as E Main St, Court St, and Walnut St, reflecting a classic Midwestern settlement pattern centered on river access and early transit. Just south of the residential center, Cold Springs provides a distinct geographic landmark within the river valley. The surrounding countryside is defined by an intricate drainage network of prairie creeks, including Turkey Cr, Bear Br, and Baughmans Cr. US Route 6 bisects the area diagonally, cutting across the traditional section-line road grid of Keystone Rd and Lansing Rd, illustrating the intersection of modern regional transportation and the original township surveying system.
