2021 Map of Lake De Smet West

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Water management and high-desert ranching define this landscape in Johnson County, where the sprawling Lake De Smet meets an intricate network of irrigation systems. The reliance on seasonal runoff is evident in the numerous gravity-fed waterways like the Pride of the Valley Ditch, Mowry Basin Ditch, and Yarwood Ditch that crisscross the terrain to support local agriculture. The map reveals a complex infrastructure of storage and transport, including Mowry Reservoir, Sparks Reservoir, and the Lake De Smet Canal. These features highlight the transformation of the arid Mowry Basin into a productive ranching district. Local transport is anchored by routes such as Lott Ranch Rd and French Creek Rd, which provide access to family-named landmarks and remote stock-watering points throughout the township blocks of T52N and T51N.
