2015 Map of Chapelle Lake SW

About this map

Hughes County and Hyde County meet along a straight north-south line in this rural prairie landscape. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, notably S Chapelle Cr in the north and the winding path of Chaney Rush Cr in the south, which flows through a more deeply incised valley as it moves toward the Big Bend area. The section lines are clearly marked by a rigid grid of local roads, such as 208th St and 321st Ave, reflecting the traditional township and range system of the Great Plains. Apart from the natural watercourses like Joe Creek, the map shows a landscape largely shaped by agricultural divisions, with Chaney Rush Road providing one of the few named diagonal or named access routes through the southern hills.
