The 1099-Misc is reporting the payment as "Rent" because the county is basically renting the access through an easement on your property.  You will report this on your return as miscellaneous income. 

To do this: In your open return, go the search box and type "1099-misc" and select "Jump to 1099-misc". Answer "Yes" on the next screen. Enter the information as reported on the1099-Misc. and click "continue". On the next screen choose "Nonbusiness income from the rental of personal property or equipment"
