1962 Map of Lexington NW

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Kennebec, Hillside, and Lincoln townships characterize this section of the Nebraska plains in the early 1960s, a landscape defined by its agricultural layout and water management. The southern edge of the sheet is marked by the Dawson Co Canal, a vital piece of irrigation infrastructure that supports the region's farming economy. The topography is intricately detailed, showing the drainage patterns of Crooked Creek and Dry Fork as they carve through the sectioned land. A lone Gravel Pit indicates local small-scale industry, while the fine red dashed lines throughout denote fence and field lines, offering researchers a granular view of property divisions and land use during this era. This survey provides a clear look at the rural organization of Dawson County before significant modern consolidation altered the footprint of many family farms.
