2017 Map of Raymond

About this map

Raymond and Malcolm anchor this agricultural landscape northwest of Lincoln, where the rolling terrain of Lancaster County is defined by the headwaters of Oak Creek. The presence of several local burial grounds, including Oak Creek Cem and Saint Pauls Cem, provides specific points of interest for those tracing family history in the township blocks of t12n r5e and t11n r6e. Water management is a central theme of the geography here, with the large expanse of Branched Oak Lake in the northwest and smaller catchments like Bradley North Reservoir and Moessner Reservoir dotting the drainages. The map reveals a transition from the developing northern outskirts of the state capital toward the more open, creek-carved prairies where Woodlawn sits near the confluence of Elk Cr and Oak Creek.
