2012 Map of Lewis Flat

About this map

Agricultural life in Platte County defines this high plains landscape, where ranching operations are clustered around vital water sources. The N Laramie River and its accompanying North Laramie Canal dominate the southern portion of the sheet, supporting established family-named sites like the Old Mitchell Home Ranch and G Mitchell Ranch. To the north, the terrain is shaped by Fish Cr and Mud Springs Br, which feed into local impoundments such as the Loren Ramsey Fish Reservoir. This complex network of irrigation, including Lowica Ditch Number 2 and North Laramie Ditch Number 3, illustrates the essential engineering required to maintain the livestock and farming operations at Lewis Flat and Call Ranch.
