2015 Map of Lost Springs

About this map

Lost Springs serves as the focal point of this rural prairie landscape, positioned where the boundaries of Dickinson, Morris, and Marion counties converge. The settlement is defined by its grid of local streets like Main St and Berry St, surrounded by a vast network of section-line roads that follow the township and range survey system. This area is heavily drained by a series of waterways, including Lyon Creek and Kohls Creek to the west, and the various branches of Clear Creek and Middle Creek to the east. Local history and genealogy are preserved in several distinct burial grounds, such as the Swedish Mission Cem and the Lost Springs Cem, which reflect the early ethnic and social foundations of these plains communities.
