About this map

Otero County irrigation networks define this agricultural landscape in the mid-1990s, where an intricate system of waterways including the Otero Canal, Highline Canal, and Catlin Canal support the high plains environment. The small settlement of Hawley serves as a local hub near the Grand Valley Sch, while the northern area near Roberta is marked by water management infrastructure like levees and gravel pits.

A significant cultural corridor is preserved along the southern edge of the map, where the Santa Fe National Historic Trail follows the path of Benton Arroyo. This intersection of historic transit and modern conservation is further highlighted by the presence of the Comanche National Grassland. The map provides detailed placement of rural infrastructure, from the Crooked Arroyo Reservoir No 2 to the various pipelines and wells that sustain this corner of Colorado.
