2011 Map of Lexington West

About this map

The Platte River corridor defines this portion of the Nebraska landscape, where a complex network of man-made irrigation channels diverts water to support the region's agricultural economy. Extensive systems including the Cozad Canal, Dawson County Canal, and Thirtymile Canal crisscross the plains, while the Dawson County Drain Number 1 manages the runoff. This reliance on water management is punctuated by industrial and agricultural landmarks like the Darr Feedlot and the river crossing at Darr Bridge. Local history is anchored by the Grace Cemetery and Hewitt Cemetery, alongside the Assemblies of God Conference Grounds. To the east, the edge of Lexington begins to emerge with residential streets such as W 10th St and the regional aviation hub at Jim Kelly Field.
