2017 Map of Leahy

About this map

Leahy sits at the intersection of local routes in Douglas County, serving as a focal point for this high-plateau landscape. The area is characterized by drainage systems like E Foster Cr and Deep Cr, which carve through the terrain between prominent landmarks such as Spiva Butte and Reaves Butte. High-altitude water sources, including Tinker Spring and Tinker Lake in the northwest corner, indicate the essential role of reliable water in this semi-arid region. The map reveals a network of rural corridors, from Chalk Hills Rd Ne to the modern alignment of Route 174, which connect the isolated homesteads and grazing lands typical of the Columbia Plateau. Further east, Badger Spring and Ragged Butte mark the transition toward more complex topography, illustrating the traditional geographic boundaries that defined local land use and transit during the early 21st century.
