2017 Map of Lucerne

About this map

Lucerne stands at the intersection of a vast section-line road network in the northern reaches of Haakon County. The 2017 landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Buzzard Cr and Witcher Holes Cr, which carve through the high plains. The map reveals a strictly organized rural geography, where long-established range lines like t3n r21e and t2n r22e dictate the placement of local thoroughfares such as 11 Mile Rd and 229th Ave. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the terrain transitions toward the headwaters of Medicine Cr and Wilburn Cr. The presence of Airport Rd cutting north-to-south suggests the importance of aerial access in this remote ranching country, where the distance between neighbors is measured in miles and miles of open prairie.
