2015 Map of Lake De Smet East

About this map

Lake De Smet dominates the western edge of this High Plains landscape, where water management infrastructure defines the local geography. The eastern shoreline at Seney Point gives way to a complex network of draws and creeks, including Boxelder Cr and Murray Draw, which illustrate the natural drainage patterns of this Wyoming region. Human intervention is visible in the sophisticated irrigation and transport systems, from the Lake Desmet Canal and Redman Ditch to the Huson Reservoir near the southern boundary. In the south, the Johnson County Airport serves as a modern anchor near Rock Cr, while a network of rural routes like Belus Rd and Rock Creek Rd connect scattered homesteads and ranch lands. The map captures the intersection of industrial-scale water movement and the expansive cattle-country terrain.
