2017 Map of Downey Lakes

About this map

Downey Lakes and the surrounding high country of Albany County define this stretch of the Wyoming landscape. The terrain is a complex network of hydrologic management, characterized by numerous reservoirs and drainage systems. Water features like Lone Tree Reservoir Number One and Lone Tree Reservoir Number 2 are connected by the Lone Tree Ditch, illustrating how the region's limited water resources were harnessed for local use. To the west, the prominent Steamboat Rock overlooks Steamboat Lake, providing a distinct geographic anchor in a landscape otherwise marked by winding seasonal channels such as Spring Cr and Dry Cr. The presence of Co RD 322 and Co RD 34 suggests the continued importance of these routes for accessing remote ranching or recreation lands within the township and range system.
