2017 Map of Lewis Flat

About this map

Lewis Flat defines this portion of Platte County, where an intricate network of irrigation systems supports the high plains landscape. The N Laramie River and its associated water management features, including the N Laramie Canal, Lowica Ditch Number 2, and Mitchell Ditch Number 1, illustrate the heavy reliance on diverted water for agriculture and livestock in the region. These man-made channels crisscross the terrain near natural landmarks like Big Draw and Fish Creek. Local history and land use are further marked by named water bodies such as Loren Ramsey Fish Reservoir and simple numeric designations like Reservoir Number One. The landscape is a mix of open range and engineered water ways, with local transit facilitated by Pepper Rd and W Johnson Rd.
