1965 Map of Jameson Lake East

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Moses Coulee dominates this mid-1960s topographic survey of the Douglas County landscape, where the deeply carved basaltic valley floor contains a string of notable water bodies including Jameson Lake and Grimes Lake. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, moving from the lake surfaces up through the steep walls of Long Canyon and Sulphur Canyon toward higher plateau features like Chester Butte. Human activity in this arid environment is represented by a network of jeep trails, scattered storage bins, and a small Gravel Pit in the southeast. Water management and access are central themes here, evidenced by labels for Twin Lakes, Fisher Lakes, and a Dry Well, reflecting the challenges of agricultural and industrial life in the Coulee country during the mid-twentieth century.
