Cooper serves as a small focal point within this high-desert landscape of Lincoln County, situated near the head of Ancho Valley. The terrain is defined by a series of significant drainage systems, including Largo Canyon, Big Pine Canyon, and Red Hill Canyon, which dictate the movement of both water and travel across the plains. This 2020 record illustrates a region where water management is critical for land use, evidenced by the distribution of catchment features like Killgore Tank, Storey Tank, and Cathy Tank, alongside the reliable Indian Spring. The network of descriptive local roads, such as Cowbell Ln, Windmill Rd, and Straley Rd, alongside the historical path of Old Co Rd, suggests a landscape primarily dedicated to ranching and open-range utility.
