2018 Map of Ray Lake

About this map

Milford and the open expanse of Boulder Flats define the settled corridors of this Fremont County landscape. The area is heavily defined by its complex irrigation and water management systems, essential for life in the high desert. A network of man-made waterways including the Ray Canal, Sioux Ditch, and Big Cottonwood Ditch crisscrosses the terrain, drawing from the North Popo Agie River to support local ranching and agriculture. These features illustrate the enduring effort to divert water across the flats toward Ray Lake and smaller catchments like Alkali Lake.
