2012 Map of Cooper Lake North

About this map

The high plains of Albany County are defined by a network of water management and transit routes at the edge of Cooper Lake. This 2012 survey documents the persistent presence of ranching and railway infrastructure in this stretch of the Wyoming basin. The small settlement of Lookout sits along the primary transportation corridor, positioned near the meandering course of Meiser Cr. Water distribution is a central theme of the landscape, evident in the engineering of Homer Ditch and the proximity of Cavender Reservoir. To the south, the terrain follows the path of Dutton Cr as it approaches the wetlands and open water of the lake itself. The layout reveals how modern roads like Round Top Rd interface with the long-established rail line and natural drainage patterns of this high-altitude prairie environment.
