About this map

Raymond and Malcolm anchor this agricultural landscape in Lancaster County, defined by a complex network of reservoirs and creek branches. The northwestern corner is dominated by the large Branched Oak Lake, regulated by the Branched Oak Dam-Site 18 Dam. Smaller water management projects like the Bradley North Reservoir and Bradley South Reservoir near Malcolm, along with Moessner Reservoir to the northeast, reflect the region's focus on water conservation and flood control within the Oak Creek drainage system.

Local history is preserved in the placement of rural burial grounds, including Oak Creek Cemetery east of Raymond and Saint Pauls Cemetery to the south. The road grid, comprised of routes such as W Raymond Rd and NW 70th St, connects these small communities and their respective service centers like the Raymond Post Office and Malcolm Post Office. The southern edge features the settlement of Woodlawn, situated where the terrain begins to slope toward the Elk Creek valley.
