About this map

The town of Lorraine sits at the heart of this Ellsworth County landscape, serving as a central point for the surrounding agricultural and industrial activity. The area's economic history is clearly defined by the presence of energy resources, including the Lorraine Oil Field, the Lorraine North Oil Field, and the Prosper East Oil Field. These sites illustrate the region's long-standing reliance on sub-surface minerals alongside its surface farming.

For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies significant landmarks like the Lorraine Cemetery and the Baptist Cemetery. Natural drainage is provided by the meandering paths of Lost Creek, Oxide Creek, and Plum Creek, which cut through the rectilinear grid of county roads such as Ave UU and Frederick Rd. To the southeast, the small settlement of Frederick marks another point of habitation along Monroe Ave.
