2017 Map of Cooper Lake South

About this map

Cooper Lake dominates the high plains landscape of this Albany County quadrangle, situated within a network of water management features designed for the semi-arid environment. The hydrology of the area is defined by the flow of Cooper Creek and the man-made infrastructure of the Homer Ditch in the northwest and the James Lake N Canal along the southern border. These features indicate the region's reliance on irrigation and water diversion to support the cattle ranching and agricultural operations that characterize this part of Wyoming. The map provides a precise look at the township and range divisions, such as t19n r75w, which dictate the land ownership patterns and grazing allotments in the expansive territory surrounding the lake.
