1962 Map of Lexington NW

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Dawson Co Canal cuts through the southern edge of this landscape, representing the vital irrigation infrastructure of central Nebraska during the early 1960s. The terrain is defined by the prominent ridges of Kennebec, Hillside, and Lincoln, which dictate the drainage patterns of Crooked Creek and Dry Fork. This 1962 field-checked survey highlights a predominantly rural area where the distribution of section lines and fence lines reflects a land organized for large-scale agriculture and grazing. A lone Gravel Pit indicates localized resource extraction amidst the complex topography of the Dawson County hills. The map provides a precise record of the physical geography before modern land-use changes, documenting the exact placement of rural tracks and unimproved roads that served these upland townships.
