2011 Map of Lorenzo

About this map

Lorenzo sits at the heart of this Cheyenne County landscape, where the high plains of Nebraska meet the Colorado border. The settlement's orderly grid is bisected by a major transit corridor, emphasizing its role as a local crossroads within a vast agricultural framework. The terrain is defined by a rigorous network of section-line roads, including Road 18 and Road 101, which carve the prairie into precise geometric plots. To the south, Cow Creek provides a rare natural break in the landscape's symmetry as it meanders through the southeastern corner. Phelps Airport stands as a notable landmark just south of the main settlement, highlighting the importance of aerial accessibility in this rural expanse. This 2011 survey captures the area at a time when traditional agricultural patterns remained the dominant force in the local economy and spatial organization.
