2011 Map of Circle Reservoir

About this map

Sullivan Creek and Alkali Creek drain this landscape in Dawson County, where water management is central to the land's utility. The drainage patterns are defined by the convergence of the West Fork Pasture Creek and East Fork Pasture Creek as they feed into Pasture Creek in the northeast. This 2011 survey highlights the engineered landscape of the region, featuring the Circle Reservoir Dam and its namesake, Circle Reservoir, alongside the Dean S Number 2 Dam to the northwest. These structures, coupled with a simple network of local roads and the primary County Rd, illustrate a ranching or agricultural environment where controlling the flow of seasonal creeks is vital for local operations.
