About this map

Kinney Lake and its surrounding high plains terrain characterize this portion of Lincoln County during the late 1970s. The landscape is defined by intermittent water sources and land utilization geared toward resource extraction and recreation, as evidenced by multiple Gravel Pits and a designated Campground near Kinney Hill. This area serves as a drainage basin where Long Branch and several unnamed Spring and Springs points provide vital water in a semi-arid environment.

The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by Buffalo Basin, which contains Nelson Lake and the notably named Lofdahl Springs. A diagonal Pipeline corridor cuts across the northern townships, reflecting the region's role in energy infrastructure. This survey is particularly useful for identifying family-named water features and the specific locations of early gravel extraction operations that shaped the local topography.
