2013 Map of Hawkins

About this map

Hawkins sits along the northern edge of this high plains landscape, positioned directly on the east-west route of Co-96. The surrounding terrain is defined by a grid of rural tracks including Co Road 30 and Co Road N, which partition the open prairie into the Public Land Survey System sections of t018s r050w and t019s r049w. Notable depressions in the landscape are marked by Salt Lake in the northwest and Black Lake toward the southeast, representing the intermittent water sources critical to this arid region. The map reflects a modern era of land management where traditional section lines continue to dictate the placement of county roads, preserving a settlement pattern that has changed little over the decades in eastern Colorado.
