About this map

Moorefield and the northern edge of Curtis anchor this study of the Loess Canyons landscape along the Lincoln and Frontier county line. The terrain is defined by deep, eroded drainages such as Curtis Creek Canyon and Deer Creek Canyon that carve through the high plains. Water management is a primary feature of the local geography, visible in the series of containment structures including Elson Reservoir Number 1-S and the Medicine Cr Reservoir 200.

Transportation follows a distinct grid pattern of rural roads like Snell Canyon Rd and Cottonwood Rd that negotiate the complex topography of Tobiassen Draw. Local history is centered around the village of Moorefield, where the Moorefield Cem and a small network of streets including Ash St and Market St represent the core of this prairie community. To the southwest, the Curtis Municipal Airport serves as a modern waypoint for this agricultural region.
