2019 Map of Harrence Lake

About this map

The expansive high plains of Saguache County are defined by a complex network of seasonal drainage and wetlands in this 2019 survey. Harrence Lake sits at the center of a wide hydrological basin, where ephemeral watercourses like Werner Arroyo and Russell Cr navigate the flat, open terrain. This landscape is a patchwork of public land survey sections, with the township lines of t43n r8e and t43n r9e providing the primary structure for the rural road network. Local routes such as Co RD T and San Juan Ln cross the northern reaches of the quadrangle, reflecting the sparse, wide-open character of this part of the San Luis Valley. In the southern sections, the path of La Garita Cr cuts through the marshy ground, illustrating the subtle elevation changes that direct the flow of water across this high-altitude environment.
