2010 Map of Kinney Lake

About this map

Buffalo Basin characterizes the geography of this Lincoln County landscape, where the prairie is defined by intermittent water sources and ranch infrastructure. Agricultural development is evident through water management features such as the L G Kinney Dam, which contains Kinney Lake, and the Clingingsmith Number 2 Dam to the south. These structures, along with Lofdahl Springs and Nelson Lake, represent the critical importance of reliable water in the arid high plains. A geometric network of rural routes, including County Rd 35 and County Rd 2G, divides the terrain into vast sections typical of the American West. The drainage of Long Branch meanders across the western portion of the sheet, providing a natural contrast to the straight-line precision of the county road system and property divisions.
