2014 Map of Jameson Lake SW

About this map

McCartney sits within a landscape defined by the dramatic descent of the Moses Coulee, where the terrain drops sharply from the surrounding plateaus. This 2014 survey details the intricate drainage systems that feed into the coulee, including Armour Draw and Sulphur Canyon. The presence of Sulphur Spring, Garnet Spring, and Coyote Spring highlights the vital water sources in this arid region, which historically dictated the placement of homesteads and grazing routes. A network of rural roads like Moses Coulee Rd SE and Highland School Rd SE follows the natural contours of the land, connecting the valley floor to the high ground. The map provides a clear picture of the Public Land Survey System divisions, from t23n r25e to t25n r25e, showing how the grid of the American West was laid over the winding path of McCartney Cr.
