2022 Map of Lewis Lake

About this map

Rush Creek and the ephemeral drainage of Big Sandy Cr define the hydrological character of this High Plains landscape in Cheyenne County. The terrain is marked by isolated water features like Lewis Lake and Skank Lake, which stand as rare landmarks in an otherwise open prairie environment. This 2022 survey illustrates the enduring Public Land Survey System grid, with township boundaries for t15s r49w and t15s r48w organizing the space. A network of rural section-line roads, including Co Rd 18 and Co Rd K, provides the primary access across the agricultural and ranching parcels. The sparse distribution of named features reflects the remote nature of this portion of eastern Colorado, where geography is dictated by seasonal watercourses and the straight lines of county infrastructure.
