Printable map showing corporate limits extra territorial jurisdictions for the City of Lincoln and surrounding villages in Lancaster County. Each of the city/village jurisdictions in Lancaster County has a legally defined corporate boundary, and are, by State law, empowered to oversee zoning within a one mile radius from their limits. (The City of Lincoln has a similar zoning buffer that extends for three miles from its corporate limits.) Maintained and Updated by the City of Lincoln / Lancaster County Planning Department.

The City of Lincoln Independent Redistricting Committee approved the final Lincoln City Council district map at its public meeting on March 3, 2022. The map will define the City Council district boundaries until the next redistricting process after the 2030 U.S. Census. The Independent Redistricting Commission was made up entirely of community members and was empowered to adopt the district boundaries without City Council approval. However, the City of Lincoln City Council will conduct the first read of the ordinance to adopt the map but they may not rescind, supersede, or revise the district boundaries adopted by the commission.For more information visit https://www.lincolnca.gov/en/news/final-redistricting-map.aspx.Updated July 2023 for SUDB Annexation.

Deleted Larson This data came from the NDDOT's Mapping Section. The original data was digitized from hand scribed maps and registered to the 1:24000 USGS PLSS data. It was converted from a projection (NAD 1983 UTM Zone 14N) to a Geographic coordinate system.

In the United States, such limits are usually formally described in a state, provincial, or territorial law (or an appropriate regulation) as being under the control of the municipal corporation or agency that constitutes the city government. It is customary to indicate city limits with the posting of signs on major freeways, highways, and arterial roads. Property which within city limits is subject to city taxation and city regulation, and expects city services. Areas outside of any city's limits are considered to be unincorporated, and in most U.S. states they are by default regulated and taxed by the county.

The TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) that are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line File is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Census Blocks are statistical areas bounded on all sides by visible features, such as streets, roads, streams, and railroad tracks, and/or by nonvisible boundaries such as city, town, township, and county limits, and short line-of-sight extensions of streets and roads. Census blocks are relatively small in area; for example, a block in a city bounded by streets. However, census blocks in remote areas are often large and irregular and may even be many square miles in area. A common misunderstanding is that data users think census blocks are used geographically to build all other census geographic areas, rather all other census geographic areas are updated and then used as the primary constraints, along with roads and water features, to delineate the tabulation blocks. As a result, all 2010 Census blocks nest within every other 2010 Census geographic area, so that Census Bureau statistical data can be tabulated at the block level and aggregated up to the appropriate geographic areas. Census blocks cover all territory in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Blocks are the smallest geographic areas for which the Census Bureau publishes data from the decennial census. A block may consist of one or more faces.

Current and historic city limits and ETJs for the City of Lincoln and surrounding villages of Lancaster County.

Historical data on Lincoln's land area from 1959 to present. This document maintained by the Planning Department contains the number of square miles within the City limits, as well as the amount of land annexed each year. The current year is updated periodically as new annexations occur.

This map is provided as a general guide to assist in determining where the adopted flood standards are applicable, and should be used in conjunction with the flood regulations and design standards, as well as the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps and Flood Insurance Study. This is particularly true with regard to Minimum Flood Corridors along streams, which must be determined based upon field conditions, and with regard to the determination of official base flood elevations to meet federal floodplain standards. The map displays floodplain and floodway information, floodprone areas, general stream coverage, City Limits, the Existing Urban Area and New Growth Areas.In general, the major components of the revised Flood Standards apply to 'New Growth Areas'. However, the Minimum Flood Corridor continues to be applicable within the 'Existing Urban Area' outside of the floodplain, and the flood standards for the Existing Urban Area also reflect other administrative revisions and clarifications that should not be overlooked. 'New Growth Areas' are defined as those areas outside Lincoln's City Limits, and zoned Agricultural (AG) or Agricultural Residential (AGR) on May 25, 2004. 'Existing Urban Area' is defined as those areas inside the City limits, as well as those areas outside the corporate limits having a zoning designation other than AG or AGR on May 25, 2004. The Flood Standards for New Growth Areas apply within Lincoln's 3 mile zoning jurisdiction. As this jurisdiction expands over time, so will the application of Lincoln's flood standards. Areas with zoning designations other than AG or AGR on May 25, 2004 which come into Lincoln's zoning jurisdiction in the future will continue to be defined as 'Existing Urban Area' for the purpose of the flood standards.The 100 year Floodplain represents those lands which are subject to a one percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year, as shown on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maps. The floodplain and floodway information is provided by FEMA and reflects the September 21, 2001 maps adopted by the City of Lincoln and Lancaster County. It does not necessarily identify all areas subject to flooding, particularly from local drainage sources, or planimetric features outside floodplain areas. The Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM)and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) are the official documents and should be utilized for detailed data on base flood elevations, and for any detailed information in the floodplain area.Floodprone Areas are those lands which are subject to a one percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year. The floodprone area is essentially a 100 year floodplain determined by hydrologic and hydraulic studies completed by the City or other government agency, but not yet incorporated into the FEMA floodplain maps. Floodprone areas are typically identified through a process called Watershed Master Planning. Additional floodprone areas are anticipated to be identified in the future when master plans are completed in other watersheds.Stream information is provided only as a guide to assist in determining where Minimum Flood Corridor standards may be applicable - each determination should be made on a site by site basis. The Minimum Flood Corridor is required within the Existing Urban Area and New Growth Areas, and must be preserved along all channels which drain greater than 150 acres or have a defined bed and bank. However, within the Existing Urban Area, no Minimum Flood Corridor is required in a FEMA mapped floodplain.
