2022 Map of Antelope Mesa

About this map

Antelope Mesa dominates the northern landscape of this Crowley County region, a high ground defined by its gradual slopes and sparse water sources. The map highlights the essential water management systems of the high plains, most notably the Colorado Canal cutting through the southeastern corner. This vital artery represents the lifeblood of agricultural development in the arid Colorado interior, where natural water is limited to features like Bluff Springs and the isolated Tennessee Pond. A rigid grid of county roads, including Olney Springs Rd and Co Rd R, divides the landscape into township and range sections, illustrating the organized land distribution of the American West. The survey detail provides a clear look at the sparse, rural character of the area, where the vast open terrain is marked primarily by these infrequent watering points and the infrastructure of irrigation.
