2017 Map of Cowboy Mesa NE

About this map

The settlement of Lon sits at the southwestern edge of this high-plains terrain in Lincoln County, reflecting the sparse habitation typical of this region's ranching landscape. The area is defined by a rigorous grid of the Public Land Survey System, spanning townships t1s r17e, t1s r18e, t2s r17e, and t2s r18e. Modern connectivity is provided by a network of county thoroughfares, including Co Rd 8020, Co Rd 8021, and Co Rd 8048, which cut across the dramatic topography of the mesa. This 2017 survey records the land use patterns where vast open sections are punctuated by occasional drainage features and technical elevation contours, illustrating how the natural mesa landforms dictate the placement of roads and the single named outpost of Lon.
