2019 Map of Hawkins

About this map

Hawkins sits at the northern edge of this high plains landscape in Kiowa County, positioned along the corridor of Co RD S. The terrain is defined by wide basins and intermittent water bodies, most notably the large depression of Salt Lake to the west and the wetlands surrounding Black Lake to the southeast. A systematic grid of county roads, including Co RD 30 and Co RD 35, sections off the land into township and range blocks like t18s r50w and t19s r49w. This layout reflects the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the modern geography of eastern Colorado. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching or agricultural region where movement is dictated by these straight-line transit routes and the natural placement of seasonal lakes.
