About this map

Potters Lake sits as the primary hydrologic feature in this high plains landscape of southeastern Colorado, marking a transition point in the local terrain. The survey captures the area at the boundary between Kiowa County and Bent County, revealing a strictly gridded system of sectional roads and township lines. This network, including routes like Co Rd 22 and Co Rd 27, reflects the systematic land partitioning of the Public Land Survey System that defined Western settlement. The sparse distribution of named features underscores the rural, agricultural nature of the region during this period, where infrastructure was primarily dictated by the county road system and the movement of water across the semi-arid plains of Township 20 South, Range 51 West.
