2015 Map of Shute Creek Lake

About this map

The Emigrant Trl cuts across this high-plains landscape, marking a deep historical path through Lincoln County. This 2015 survey highlights the arid drainage patterns of the region, where water features like Slate Cr and Jackson Cr define the subtle topography. In the southern portion of the sheet, the eponymous Shute Creek Lake and the meandering Shute Cr provide a focal point for the surrounding public and private lands. The map shows the grid of the Public Land Survey System, including sections within t23n r113w and t23n r112w. Infrastructure is sparse, primarily represented by the local Cr-340 road, illustrating the modern character of this open Wyoming territory while preserving the memory of the overland migration route.
