2015 Map of Lewis

About this map

The town of Lewis serves as a focal point along the western edge of Cass County, positioned near the winding path of the East Nishnabotna River. This settlement, established in the nineteenth century as a former county seat, retains a grid of residential and commercial streets such as W Main St and Oregon St. To the northeast, the Oakwood Cem stands on higher ground, while the Cold Springs area south of town indicates the natural water sources that influenced early location choices. The surrounding landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Spring Cr, Turkey Cr, and Bear Br, which carve through the agricultural uplands. These creek valleys dictate the layout of rural routes like White Pole Rd, a historic thoroughfare that predates modern highway systems.
