Lakeview North’s center stands about 4,630 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 4,470 ft to 4,760 ft, a difference of 290 ft: rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Eagles Nest, about 5,100 ft, 11 miles east-southeast.
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 19×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Sandstone, siltstone, claystone. Age: Late Oligocene to Late Miocene, 5.3 to 28 million years old. About 11 mi of the line.
Sand, unconsolidated. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 8 mi of the line.
Clay, silt, sand. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Gneiss. Age: Archean. About 2 mi of the line.
Gravel. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.

A raindrop that lands in Lakeview North reaches the Gulf of America by way of the Laramie, the North Platte, the Platte, the Missouri and the Mississippi: about 2,350 river miles.
Lake on the way: Grayrocks Reservoir.
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 Lakeview North; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Lakeview North has a cold semi-arid climate. Summer afternoons average 89° in July; winter nights fall to about 13° in December. About 16 inches of rain fall in a normal year.
