2010 Map of Arlington

About this map

Arlington sits at the center of this high-plains landscape, where the agricultural economy of Kiowa County depends heavily on a complex network of man-made and natural waterways. The map illustrates how essential water management is to this region, prominently featuring the Colt Ditch system and its interaction with native drainages like Mustang Creek and Johns Creek. To the southeast, the massive Adobe Creek Reservoir and its associated Adobe Creek Inlet dominate the terrain, providing a vital resource for local farming and irrigation. Outside the small settlement of Arlington, the surrounding land is partitioned by a grid of county roads, such as County Road H and County Road 12, which connect isolated homesteads and farms to the town center and the Arlington Cemetery.
