2011 Map of Stegall

About this map

Stegall anchors this landscape in the western reaches of Scotts Bluff County, where the high plains are defined by a complex network of agricultural water management. The irrigation infrastructure is a primary feature of the region, anchored by the Fort Laramie Canal and supported by numerous laterals and drains, such as the West Bald Peak Lateral and Butcher Drain. Water storage is managed through sites like Lowery Reservoir and Browns Canyon Dam Number 1, reflecting the region's reliance on managed flow to sustain the prairie. The topography transitions from the drainage basins of Kiowa Creek and Owl Creek to the distinct elevations of Signal Butte and Bald Peak. This interplay of natural drainage and engineered irrigation creates a hybrid environment, further marked by the deep incisions of Bobcat Canyon and Spring Canyon in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
