2011 Map of Sutherland Reservoir West

About this map

The Sutherland Reservoir dominates the northeastern landscape of this Lincoln County quadrangle, showing its extensive shoreline and the adjacent recreation areas of Sutherland State Park. This hydraulic network is fed by the Sutherland Canal, which cuts westward across the prairie toward the South Platte River in the northwest corner. The map reveals a strictly gridded rural landscape, where the agricultural sections are defined by long-distance thoroughfares like W Correction Line Rd and W Goedert-White Rd. Family-named routes such as S Seifer Rd and S Beveridge Rd provide access to the interior ranchlands. The presence of Prairie Trace Rd south of the reservoir suggests the historical movement across this high-plains terrain, where water management and ranching have long shaped the local economy and land use patterns.
