Box Springs and its surrounding water management infrastructure define this high plains landscape in Crowley County. The area is characterized by a series of engineered catchments, including Box Springs Reservoir Number 1 through Box Springs Reservoir Number 5, which regulate the flow of seasonal drainage throughout the territory. Natural waterways like Horse Cr, Pond Cr, and the appropriately named Dead Horse Cr traverse the gridded section lines, highlighting the critical role of water rights and storage in this arid region. Near the northern boundary, S McCabe Lake and additional reservoirs indicate a concentrated effort to harness local runoff. The survey illustrates a vast network of rural routes, from Co-71 to numerous county roads like Co Road CC and Co Road U, which facilitate access across this sparsely populated ranching and agricultural expanse.
