About this map

Big Sandy Cr and Rush Cr meander through the high plains of eastern Colorado, defining the natural drainage of this open landscape. The terrain is a network of township and range divisions, where straight county roads like Co Rd 49 and Co Rd 53 intersect the dry streambeds and ephemeral wetlands. This 2022 survey captures the persistent agricultural infrastructure of the region, specifically the irrigation efforts evidenced by the Comanche Canal and the Pawnee Canal in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map also delineates the border between Kiowa Co and Prowers Co, providing a clear view of how political boundaries and land management systems overlay the natural topography of the High Plains.
