1996 Map of Lincoln West

About this map

The city of Lincoln and the agricultural lands of Logan County are captured here in the mid-1990s, revealing a landscape defined by both historic preservation and modern utility. The Postville Court House State Historic Site stands as a focal point in the city, marking its legacy as the seat of justice where Abraham Lincoln once practiced law. This intersection of history and development is further evidenced by the Lincoln Gas Storage Area and the extensive Gravel Pit operations near Kickapoo Creek. Numerous rural burial grounds like Schrader Cem and Musick Cem are scattered across the townships of Orvil and West Lincoln, offering vital coordinates for genealogists. The southern portion of the sheet highlights the transition to recreational land use at Ed Madigan State Park and the varied shoreline of Lincoln Lakes near Salt Creek.
