2013 Map of Lake Albert

About this map

Lake Albert lies at the southern edge of this High Plains landscape, a terminal basin in a region defined by its ephemeral drainage patterns. The topography is shaped by the wandering courses of S Fork White Woman Cr and White Woman Cr, which cut through the tablelands of the Colorado borderlands. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the section line road network, including CO Road A and CO Road 75, which follow the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System. The boundary between Cheyenne Co and Kiowa Co bisects the northern half of the sheet, illustrating how political lines were drawn across this open terrain. The map's detail is essential for understanding the hydrology of this semi-arid environment, where water features like the South Fork determine the character of the surrounding land.
