2012 Map of Shute Creek Lake

About this map

Emigrant Trl cuts across the northern reaches of this high desert terrain, marking a path through the same landscape that once guided westward travelers. This 2012 survey shows a network of seasonal and perennial waterways that define the local geography, including the meandering courses of Slate Cr and Shute Cr. The land is dominated by drainage systems, where small tributaries like Jackson Cr and Sheep Cr feed into larger basins. Near the center of this drainage network lies Shute Creek Lake, a distinctive landmark in an otherwise arid expanse. Modern infrastructure, represented by Co Rd 340 and other regional routes, now overlays the older paths of movement, illustrating the ongoing utility of these natural corridors for transportation and resource management in Lincoln County.
