2012 Map of Lake Meade

About this map

Lake Meade and its surrounding drainage systems serve as the central focus of this Meade County landscape. The area is defined by the winding paths of Crooked Cr and Shorts Cr, which cut through the terrain alongside Stumpie Arroyo. This 2012 survey reveals a rural landscape structured by an extensive grid of section roads, from Q RD in the north to Y RD in the south, reflecting the persistent geometric order of High Plains agriculture. For local historians and genealogists, the map provides important markers of early settlement and community heritage, specifically through the preservation of the Seward Cem and Atwater Cem. Recreational development is concentrated near the water, featuring the Meade State Park Artesian Well Campground and the Meade State Park West Shore Campground, which highlight the importance of these water resources in an otherwise arid region.
