2017 Map of Lynch

About this map

Lynch serves as the primary hub in this northern Nebraska landscape, situated near the winding course of Ponca Creek. The terrain here is defined by the significant transition from the upland plateaus down to the Niobrara River valley, which forms a natural boundary between Boyd and Holt counties. To the south, the settlement of Redbird sits near the confluence of Redbird Creek and the river, an area marked by numerous small tributaries like Louse Creek and Whisky Creek. Local history is anchored by the presence of Highland Cemetery north of town and Pleasant Hill Cemetery to the south. The map illustrates a rural economy dependent on water management and small-scale aviation, evidenced by the Becker Reservoir Number 1 and the Woolf Brothers Airport located along the creek bottoms.
