2022 Map of Kinney Lake

About this map

Kinney Lake and the broad expanse of Buffalo Basin characterize this section of the high plains in Lincoln County. This landscape is defined by its intermittent water sources and the section-line road network that facilitates transit across the open range. Vital water points like Lofdahl Springs and Nelson Lake provided essential resources for local ranching operations in an area where permanent surface water is scarce. The drainage of Long Br snakes through the western sections, illustrating the subtle topography that governs the region's hydrology.
