2017 Map of Lewis Ranch

About this map

The Lewis Ranch landscape in Laramie County is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and water management, where the flow of Horse Cr is diverted through a series of numbered engineering works. High-plains agriculture here relies on features like the Carey Horse Cr Ditch Number 1, Carey Horse Cr Ditch Number 6, and Carey Horse Cr Ditch Number 9, which channel water to critical storage points including Carey Reservoir Number 1. This drainage system is further supported by a series of geographic depressions and reservoirs such as Lewis Draw Number 2 and Number 6 Reservoir. Transportation through the area follows the historic path of Old Yellowstone Rd, paralleled by modern infrastructure, while local access is maintained via Lewis Ranch Rd and Nimmo Rd. The map illustrates a ranching environment where every draw, from Nimmo Draw to Antelope Draw, is part of a functional hydraulic network.
