About this map

Koehler sits at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, where high-country canyons meet the expanse of the plains. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape defined by water management and aviation, dominated by the long path of the Eagle Tail Canal and the Springer Arroyo as they wind toward the lowlands. The drainage systems of Crow Cr and Curtis Creek carve through the terrain, while landmarks like Koehler Lake and Dorsey Lake provide distinct geographic anchors in this arid region.

To the northeast, the Raton Municipal Airport/Crews Field stands as a modern focal point, contrasting with the many named canyons such as Beardon Canyon and Ashenfelder Canyon that suggest a deeper history of ranching and exploration. These topographic features, combined with sites like Crow Creek C S Farms, show how the land has been adapted for agricultural and regional infrastructure in the early 21st century.
