2010 Map of Houston Lakes

About this map

Houston Lakes and the intermittent flow of Sand Arroyo define this arid stretch of southeastern Colorado. This 2010 survey documents a landscape of sparse ranching settlements and expansive rural infrastructure, where isolated homesteads like Lewis Ranch and McIntosh Ranch sit amidst a grid of long-distance county roads. The small settlement of Heath serves as a navigational point along a route crossing the southern portion of the quadrangle. The terrain is largely characterized by dry washes and drainage patterns, including Mustang Creek in the northeastern corner, which reflect the region's reliance on seasonal water management. This map provides a precise record of the road network and property locations that supported agricultural operations in Otero County during the early 21st century.
