2011 Map of Macon

About this map

The settlement of Macon serves as the central point in this Franklin County landscape, defined by a network of north-south drainage and early 21st-century agricultural infrastructure. The terrain is etched by numerous watercourses including Walnut Run, Wasp Creek, and Coates Creek, which flow through a grid of local roads and sections. Evidence of modern land management is visible through features like the Bauman Dam-1 Dam and Lemmert Dam, which manage the local watershed. To the northwest, the Blauvelt Cemetery stands as a significant point for genealogical research, anchoring the map's history to the families who settled this part of Nebraska. The eastern boundary is defined by the winding course of West Branch Thompson Creek, illustrating the natural irrigation patterns that support the region's rural character.
