About this map

Big Sandy Creek defines the western landscape of this Prowers County region, winding past local landmarks like Tenmile Point and Stony Point. This 2010 survey illustrates a sparsely settled agricultural area characterized by a rigid grid of county roads, such as County Road SS and County Road LL, which organize the high plains terrain. Local education history is represented by the site of the Sand Creek School, positioned along County Rd 16. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by the Amity Canal and the southern reaches of Cottonwood Creek, where the Wilson Reservoir is held by the Cottonwood Number 1 Dam. The convergence of the West Fork Cottonwood Creek and East Fork Cottonwood Creek further highlights the critical nature of drainage and irrigation in this part of eastern Colorado.
