2012 Map of Hutton Lake

About this map

The Laramie Plains define the high-altitude landscape of this 2012 survey in Albany County, dominated by a complex network of glacial lakes and human-engineered irrigation. The Laramie River meanders through the northwest, flanked by a series of critical water-management features including the Pioneer Lateral and Monolith Ditch. This intricate system of diversions, such as Richards Ditch and the South Canal, underscores the importance of water rights and agricultural development in this arid high-plain environment.
