About this map

Box Lake and Horse Lake lie within this arid portion of Lincoln County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage systems. The terrain is marked by numerous draws and arroyos, including Lavade Draw and Hogadero Draw to the north, and Pedernal Arroyo in the central region. These features illustrate the natural hydrology of the high desert, where water movement is intermittent but critical to the local geography.

Infrastructure is sparse across these townships, with CO Road E008 providing one of the few formal transportation links in the northwest corner. The drainage of Patos Cr and the larger Arroyo del Macho system in the south indicate the gradual slope of the basin. This survey provides a clear view of the complex topography and unnamed local tracks that supported ranching or land management in the early twenty-first century.
