1971 Map of Johnson Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Hydraulic engineering and the legacy of western migration intersect along the Dawson and Gosper County line in this early 1970s survey. The landscape is defined by the Platte River and the massive irrigation and power infrastructure of the Tri-County Supply Canal, which feeds into Johnson Lake and the southern Elwood Reservoir. This water network supported a growing mid-century recreation economy, evidenced by the State Recreation Area, a Golf Course, and the Johnson Lake Landing Field.
