2019 Map of Kiowa

About this map

Kiowa serves as the focal point of this Elbert County landscape, where the Elbert County Courthouse anchors the small grid of streets north of Kiowa Cr. The surrounding terrain is defined by a sophisticated network of water management, evidenced by numerous flood control structures such as Kiowa Cr Watershed 3-A-50 Reservoir and Kiowa Cr Watershed 3-B-20 Reservoir. These reservoirs are integrated into the drainage basins of Gopher Cr, Wolf Cr, and Comanche Cr. To the west, the Hungate Memorial marks a site of local significance, while the presence of Wecker Farms Airport and Comanche Creek Airport indicates the role of private aviation in this rural High Plains community. The map details a transition from the structured town center to the expansive ranching and watershed lands that characterize the region.
