2017 Map of Alsop Lake

About this map

The Little Laramie River meanders across this Albany County landscape, defining a complex hydrologic network of natural basins and engineered irrigation. This high-plains environment is characterized by a high density of water features, from the large Alsop Lake and Watt Lake to the broad expanse of Big Basin. The intricate system of water management is evident in the numerous man-made waterways like James Lake N Canal, Victoria Ditch, and Carroll Alsop Ditch, which redirect flow from natural sources like Fourmile Cr and Sprague Cr. Local ranching infrastructure is marked by named roads such as Johnson-99 Ranch Rd and Howell Rd, connecting the scattered water bodies of Alsop Slough and Pilger Lake across the section-line grid.
