About this map

The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad corridor anchors this High Plains landscape in Lincoln County, connecting the small trackside settlements of Genoa and Bovina. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of several drainage systems, including the seasonally shifting flows of Dugout Creek, Hell Creek, and Hackberry Creek. These watercourses carve subtle relief into the prairie, punctuated by vital landmarks for local inhabitants such as the Genoa Community Cemetery and Bovina Cem.

Evidence of late-twentieth-century infrastructure is visible through a prominent east-west Pipeline and a local Landing Strip located near the eastern edge of the survey. The presence of numerous wells and water tanks across the township lines of T 8 S and T 9 S reflects the importance of groundwater management for the ranching and agricultural operations that sustain these communities. A local Gravel Pit near Genoa further points to the small-scale resource extraction supporting regional road development.
