2010 Map of Long Lake

About this map

Adobe Creek Reservoir dominates the southwestern corner of this landscape, its expansive shoreline defining the local water management system in this part of Kiowa County. The terrain is characterized by a high-plains drainage network, where Colt Ditch and natural depressions like Long Lake and Potters Lake provided essential water storage for the surrounding agricultural tracts. The map reveals a strictly regulated section-line road system, with routes such as County Road H, County Road E, and County Hwy WW framing the wide-open geography. This grid pattern, punctuated by the occasional playa or seasonal lake, reflects the orderly settlement and ranching traditions of eastern Colorado at the start of the twenty-first century.
