2016 Map of Houston Lakes

About this map

Houston Lakes sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape where the boundaries of Otero, Kiowa, and Bent Counties converge. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Sand Arroyo and the eastward flow of Mustang Cr, cutting through a grid of section lines and range townships. This area represents the open ranching country of southeastern Colorado in the mid-2010s, where land use is marked by long-standing agricultural holdings like the Lewis Ranch and McIntosh Ranch.
