About this map

The village of Raymond serves as the focal point of this survey, situated where the meandering Oak Creek flows through the central hills of Lancaster County. The landscape is defined by its agrarian patterns and critical water management, anchored by the significant Branched Oak Lake in the northwest and the Bradley South Reservoir further south. These features reveal the regional reliance on creek drainage systems, including Elk Cr and Little Salt Cr, to support the surrounding farmstead network.

Genealogists and local historians can find vital landmarks such as the Saint Pauls Lutheran Cem near Malcolm and the Oak Creek Cem east of the main settlement. The village of Woodlawn appears in the south, marking the edge of the growing Lincoln metropolitan area. This 2021 update documents the established road grid, such as W Branched Oak RD and W Raymond RD, which connect these smaller communities and family cemeteries to the expanding state capital.
