2016 Map of Alkali Lake

About this map

Alkali Lake occupies the southwestern corner of this survey, a seasonal water feature in a landscape defined by an orderly grid of section lines and township boundaries. The terrain is characterized by gentle undulations and scattered depressions, with Chivington Hill rising as a prominent high point in the northeastern sector. This portion of the high plains remains primarily organized for agricultural and ranching use, evidenced by the extensive network of numbered and lettered county roads, including Co RD T and Co RD 43, which delineate the terrain into traditional mile-square sections. The map provides a precise view of the rural infrastructure in Kiowa County, showing how the Public Land Survey System continues to dictate the local geography through boundaries like t18s r48w and t19s r47w.
