Hawks- <br /> <br />You don't need to put any more than one hill into it; in fact, I was envisioning just one major rise, that fills the center of the layout. It would hide the back side of the loop, since the town sits up above the track level. Because of the name "LONE-view", it should come across as though it is the only big topographic feature in the vicinity. You can put up a backdrop on one edge that shows an expanse of prairie and a big American sky, and if you're really good you could make it be a vivid sunset for more melancholy-points; you might make such a backdrop as a removable attachment, so that you can move it to any side of the layout, depending on your mood. For normal operation, maybe it'd reside on one of the short 4' sides, or it could even hang on the wall. Or, be bold and paint a prairie mural on all the walls of your train room! <br /> <br />Just thoughts. There's all kinds of room for creativity in this hobby, right?
