2021 Map of Cannonball Cut

About this map

Cannonball Cut anchors the southern landscape of this Albany County map, situated amidst a complex drainage network that defines the region's geography. The presence of irrigation features like Taylor Ditch and Johnston Ditch reflects the vital importance of water management in the high plains, where these channels redirect flow from Rock Creek to support local needs. The terrain rises toward the east at Chalk Bluff, while the hydrology is further defined by Meiser Lake and the various branches of Spring Creek. A modern residential grid appears in the northeast corner, with streets named for various trees such as Sycamore Dr and Tamerack Dr, providing a sharp contrast to the open ranch land and natural drainages like Meiser Creek that dominate the central and western portions of the quadrangle.
