2012 Map of Lake Hurley

About this map

Lake Hurley and the winding course of Little Cheyenne Cr dominate this rural Potter County landscape, illustrating the hydrology of the Missouri River basin. The western edge of the map follows the jagged shoreline of Lake Oahe, a major reservoir formed by the damming of the Missouri. The terrain is marked by a grid of section-line roads, including Co Rd 103 and various numbered streets like 164 St, which define the agricultural divisions of the High Plains. Traces of older transit are visible in the path of Old 212 Rd, showing how the modern road network evolved alongside the existing topography and water bodies. This 2012 survey captures the area as a sparsely populated ranching and farming district, where the presence of large-scale reservoirs has fundamentally altered the natural flow of local creeks.
