2010 Map of Cowboy Mesa NE

About this map

Lon serves as a primary point of reference in this high-desert portion of Lincoln County during the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by its sparse settlement and an extensive network of rural routes, including County Rd B020 and County Rd B021, which traverse the arid terrain to connect isolated ranchlands and homesites. A rare hydrologic feature, Ditch Lake, is positioned in the northeastern sector, providing a focal point for local water management in an otherwise dry environment. This U.S. Geological Survey topographic study illustrates the persistence of small, named locales like Lon and the critical importance of county infrastructure such as County Rd B048 in maintaining connectivity across the expansive mesa country.
