About this map

Deep-cut drainage systems define this portion of Lincoln County, where the erosion of the High Plains has created a labyrinth of canyons and ridges. Cut Canyon and Well Canyon dominate the western and central reaches, while Richman Canyon carves through the southeast. The land is navigated by a network of rural routes that often follow the natural topography, such as Mammoth Rd and Ridge Rd.

Surface water is sparse in this semi-arid environment, with only Fox Cr appearing in the northeastern corner. The presence of Old Hwy 83 in the southwest corner indicates the proximity of historical regional thoroughfares. This landscape, as documented by the U.S. Geological Survey, reflects a rugged agricultural or grazing territory where the primary landmarks are named for the families and topographical features that define them, like Hanson Hill Rd.
