About this map

Lewiston and Virginia anchor the northern edge of this Pawnee County landscape, where rural life is defined by a systematic grid of section roads and a complex network of prairie drainage. The area is marked by numerous water management features, specifically a series of reservoirs along Plum Creek in the south, including Plum Creek Reservoir 4-D and Plum Creek Reservoir 4-G, each with its own associated dam.

Genealogists can locate the Lewiston Cemetery near the village and the Mount Pleasant Cemetery further south along Wolf Creek. The drainage patterns of Adamson Creek and Wildcat Creek illustrate the rolling hydrology of the eastern Nebraska plains. Evidence of local civic infrastructure remains central to these small communities, with the Virginia Post Office and Lewiston Post Office serving as key landmarks for the surrounding farmsteads.
