2013 Map of Lewis Lake

About this map

Big Sandy Cr and Rush Creek carve through the high plains of Cheyenne County, revealing a landscape defined by seasonal water and the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System. The area is marked by several small, isolated water bodies, including Lewis Lake and Skank Lake, which served as critical landmarks in an otherwise open terrain. In the southwestern quadrant, the State Stock Reservoir Number 7 highlights the importance of water management for local ranching and livestock operations. This survey illustrates the 21st-century rural infrastructure of eastern Colorado, where the north-south artery of Us-287 N intersects a strictly partitioned grid of county roads, such as Co Road G and Co Road J, that facilitated access to remote agricultural sections.
