2014 Map of Lorenzo

About this map

Lorenzo sits at a crossroads of agriculture and transit in this High Plains landscape. The settlement is positioned along Road 19A, a diagonal artery that cuts across a rigid section-line grid of rural routes like Road 8 and Road 103. The terrain is defined by the subtle drainage patterns of Sidney Draw in the north and the winding course of Cow Cr further south. This 2014 survey documents the enduring spatial logic of the Nebraska-Colorado borderlands, where the Cheyenne Co Logan Co line meets the state boundary. The map illustrates a landscape of large-scale ranching or farming, where human infrastructure is sparse and oriented around a handful of primary thoroughfares and intermittent watercourses.
