Log Lane Village’s center stands about 4,310 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 4,260 ft to 4,490 ft, a difference of 230 ft: rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Judson Hills, about 4,900 ft, 14 miles north-northwest.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Gravels and alluviums (gravel, unconsolidated), from the Pleistocene, less than 0.5 million years old.
The section below crosses 5 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 40×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.

A raindrop that lands in Log Lane Village reaches the Gulf of America by way of the South Platte, the Platte, the Missouri and the Mississippi: about 2,280 river miles.
1,170 miles of the trip are on the Mississippi.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Log Lane Village; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
