About this map

Laramie Plains water management defines this landscape on the high plains south of Laramie. The Laramie River meanders through the northwest, feeding an intricate system of irrigation features including Monolith Ditch, Dowlin Ditch, and the Pioneer Lateral. These artificial waterways supported the region's ranching economy by diverting water across the arid terrain to local storage basins.

Hutton Lake serves as a central landmark within a cluster of significant water bodies, including Creighton Lake, Lake George, and Rush Lake. Further east, Fivemile Cr and Willow Cr drain toward the Goforth Reservoir. The map also captures several local transit routes such as Co RD 34 and Co RD 33, providing a clear look at the infrastructure required to manage these high-altitude wetlands and ranch lands in the early 21st century.
