2019 Map of Living Springs

About this map

Kiowa Creek and its many intermittent tributaries define this high plains landscape in eastern Adams County. The settlement of Comanche sits at the intersection of E 160th Ave and Strasburg Rd, serving as a central point in an area largely characterized by broad drainage basins and seasonal watercourses like Comanche Creek and Lost Creek. The irrigation infrastructure of the Henrylyn Canal is visible in the northwest corner, cutting across the natural flow of Wolf Creek and Sand Creek. To the south, Living Springs marks a cluster of wetlands and ponds near the junction of Headlight Rd and E 112th Ave. The map reflects a rural grid system established for agriculture and ranching, with unique local names like Pass Me By Rd and Long Draw breaking the geometry of the section lines.
