2011 Map of Simeon

About this map

The settlement of Simeon and the Simeon Post Office define the human footprint on this northern Nebraska landscape, situated near the headwaters of Gordon Creek. This region is characterized by a high concentration of elongated water bodies and wetlands, including Pelican Lake, Hackberry Lake, and Dads Lake. The map reveals a specific infrastructure for land management and conservation, notably Lookout Tower Number 1 and the winding Refuge Rd, which provides access through the lake-studded terrain. The drainage patterns of Gordon Creek and the orientation of lakes like Long Lake and Whitewater Lake suggest the unique sandy topography and hydrological character of this part of Cherry County. Remote and sparsely populated, the area is connected to the wider state via State Hwy Spur 16B, emphasizing its role as a specialized destination for resource management and natural study.
