2014 Map of Macon

About this map

Macon is the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Franklin County, Nebraska, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of creek branches and irrigation management. The northern half of the quadrangle shows the winding path of W Br Thompson Cr and significant water storage at Bauman Reservoir and Lemmert Reservoir. For those tracing local history, the Blauvelt Cem stands in the northwestern corner, providing a specific point for genealogical research. The region's infrastructure is dominated by a precise grid of rural roads, such as R Rd and 30 Rd, which intersect with Hwy 10 as it runs north-to-south through the center of the township. To the south, numerous drainages including Walnut Run, Lovely Cr, and Wasp Cr carve through the plains, illustrating the natural water drainage patterns that influenced the placement of original farmsteads and road alignments.
