2013 Map of Lone Mountain

About this map

Coyote and the Dunning Ranch occupy the high desert floor between the dramatic verticality of the Lincoln National Forest and the corridor of Us-54 N. This landscape is defined by the vital search for water, evidenced by the dense network of named windmills and stock tanks that dot the terrain. From the Riley Springs Windmill in the south to the Ponderosa Windmill, these features reveal the ranching infrastructure necessary to survive the arid environment. The eastern edge of the map rises sharply toward the peaks of Lone Mtn and Baxter Mtn, where the forest boundary begins. This transition from the flat plains of Coyote Canyon to the steep Hogback Ridge illustrates the geographic variety of Lincoln County, where seasonal drainages like Ancho Gulch dictate the layout of roads such as CO Road A013.
