2020 Map of Cormana Lake

About this map

Cormana Lake and the winding course of Duck Cr define this section of the Lincoln County plateau, where water management and agriculture have long shaped the landscape. The small settlement of Downs sits in the southeastern corner near the confluence of local drainage ways, including Coal Cr, which flows through the area south of Coal Coulee Rd E. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and rural roads, many bearing family names like Nitschke Rd, Doggett Rd, and Salo Rd, reflecting a heritage of homesteading and land ownership. The presence of Swenson Lake further west illustrates the seasonal or semi-permanent wetlands characteristic of this high-desert environment, interconnected by a network of thoroughfares such as Tebow Rd and Duck Lake Rd E.
