About this map

Leahy sits at the junction of several canyon roads in this high-desert landscape of Douglas County. The geography is defined by significant drainage systems including East Foster Creek, which carves a deep valley across the central portion of the quadrangle. High points like Spiva Butte, Reaves Butte, and Ragged Butte punctuate the surrounding plateau, providing landmarks for the rural road network that follows section lines and natural contours.

Water sources are vital and specific in this arid environment, represented by the presence of Tinker Spring and Tinker Lake in the northwest, and Badger Spring tucked into a canyon wall to the east. The map records the contemporary footprint of local ranching and agricultural travel, with routes such as Terry Hayes Rd NE and Leahy Cutoff Rd NE connecting the scattered homesteads and high plains above Deep Creek.
