2011 Map of Reservoir Lake

About this map

Frenchman Creek and its managed waterways define the agricultural and recreational landscape of western Nebraska in this early 21st-century study. The small settlement of Champion is a focal point near the eastern edge, supported by the Champion Canal and the local Mill Pond. The map reveals a complex water management system including the Kilpatrick Diversion Reservoir and Kilpatrick Reservoir 1, illustrating how irrigation infrastructure dictates the local geography. Local history is anchored by sites like Lake View Cemetery and Pleasant View Cemetery, while the presence of Smith Field and the Champion Lake Camping Area indicates the region's balance between aviation utility and leisure. The township-and-range grid is clearly delineated by numbered roads, such as 322 Ave and 732 Rd, which connect these rural outposts and water control structures.
