2024 Map of Lexington

About this map

Lexington sits at the confluence of several prominent canyons, serving as a central hub for the surrounding ranching and agricultural landscape of Morrow County. The town is physically defined by the course of Willow Creek, which winds through the valley alongside Front St. This modern survey reveals a complex network of named drainage systems and ridges that have dictated local land use for generations, including Clarks Canyon, Fuller Canyon, and the prominent Social Ridge to the southwest. Local infrastructure is anchored by the Lexington Airport and the Lexington Cem situated on the rise of Cemetery Hill Rd. The surrounding uplands are marked by water management features like Cutsforth Reservoir, essential for the arid plateau, while numerous canyons such as McMillan Canyon and Blackhorse Canyon cut deep into the basalt-influenced terrain, illustrating the geological character of this portion of eastern Oregon.
