2021 Map of Lewis Flat

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Lewis Flat region of Platte County is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation systems and water management that supports the high plains landscape. This 2021 survey details the intricate path of the Lowica Ditch Number 2, Mitchell Ditch Number 1, and the N Laramie Ditch Number 3 as they traverse the terrain north of the N Laramie River. These man-made watercourses, alongside the N Laramie Canal, reflect the area's long-standing reliance on diverted water for agriculture and livestock. In addition to natural features like Fish Creek and Big Draw, the map identifies specific managed water bodies such as the Loren Ramsey Fish Reservoir, Reservoir Number One, and Reservoir Number 2. These landmarks provide crucial reference points for local history researchers and land management studies, illustrating how the natural flow of the Mud Springs Br has been augmented by human engineering to sustain the local economy.
