2019 Map of Lewis Lake

About this map

Lewis Lake and Skank Lake sit at the center of this High Plains landscape in Cheyenne County, characterized by ephemeral water bodies and a sparse, grid-like road network. The terrain is marked by intermittent drainages, most notably Big Sandy Cr in the northeast and the winding course of Rush Creek to the south. This area is defined by the Public Land Survey System, with the map clearly delineating township boundaries such as t15s r49w and t16s r48w. The infrastructure is primarily composed of rural routes like Co RD K and Co RD 20, which facilitate movement through this cattle-ranching and dry-land farming region. The isolation of the lakes amidst the surrounding plains suggests their importance as local landmarks and potential water sources in an otherwise arid environment.
