2021 Map of Lucas

About this map

Lucas serves as the focal point of this Gregory County landscape, situated atop the high prairie between the drainage basins of the Missouri River and the White River. The area is defined by its deep commitment to local history and community, evidenced by the clustered presence of the Lucas Cem and Lucas Catholic Cem. To the northeast, the terrain slopes toward the expansive waters of Lake Francis Case, while the interior of the quadrangle is dissected by the seasonal flows of the N Fork Whetstone Cr and the S Fork Whetstone Cr. The road network, including State Hwy 1806 and family-named routes like Dewey Hills Rd, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating a classic Midwestern agricultural grid that has persisted into the modern era.
