2017 Map of Curtis SE

About this map

Cottonwood Canyon and Saunders Canyon dominate the landscape southeast of Curtis, where the high plains of Frontier County are deeply dissected by drainage systems. This 2017 topographic survey highlights a region defined by water management and land stewardship, featuring several catchment areas such as Brown Reservoir, the NE School Land Reservoir, and Gilliland Reservoir Number 1. These small reservoirs, along with the significant Medicine Cr Reservoir 370, indicate the vital role of irrigation and water storage in this agrarian environment. Genealogy researchers will find the Lone Tree Cem positioned on the southern edge of the quadrangle. The map also delineates the winding courses of Frazier Creek, Cedar Cr, and Spring Cr, which have shaped the local topography into a complex network of ridges and draws.
