2023 Map of Jameson Lake SW

About this map

Moses Coulee dominates this portion of Douglas County, carving a deep geological path through the landscape. This 2023 survey illustrates a high-desert environment defined by dramatic elevation changes and a network of ephemeral water sources. Scattered throughout the coulee and its surrounding canyons are vital natural landmarks like Sulphur Spring, Camel Spring, and Coyote Spring, which historically dictated movement and land use in this arid region. The drainage system is anchored by McCartney Creek, which flows through the heart of the canyon floor alongside Moses Coulee Rd. Modern residential development is beginning to touch the southern reaches, evidenced by streets like White Oaks Dr and Ashwood Pl near Coyote Canyon, while the northern areas remain largely defined by the agricultural grid of the Public Land Survey System and the deep incisions of Armour Draw and Sulphur Canyon.
