1968 Map of Lake Devore

About this map

West Wild Horse Creek carves a distinct path through the southeastern High Plains in this late 1960s survey. The landscape is characterized by its wide drainage basins and sparse industrial development, centered primarily around water management and transit. Lake Devore stands as the primary water body in a region where several marked wells indicate the reliance on groundwater for the local agricultural or ranching economy. A prominent Pipeline cuts diagonally across the northern sections, while a lone Water Tank in the west serves as a rare vertical landmark. The transition between Kiowa County and Prowers County is clearly delineated in the south, reflecting the administrative boundary lines that shaped this portion of Colorado.
