2013 Map of Long Lake

About this map

The Adobe Cr Reservoir dominates the southwestern corner of this landscape along the boundary shared by Kiowa and Bent Counties. This high-plains region is defined by its water management and agricultural infrastructure, featuring the elongated basin of Long Lake and the smaller Potters Lake to the east. A precise grid of county roads, such as CO Road 19 and CO Road 17, segments the terrain into townships and sections, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System. The presence of Colt Ditch further illustrates the complex irrigation network necessary for sustaining life and industry in this arid Colorado environment. To the south, CO Highway WW serves as a primary east-west artery, connecting the sparse ranching and agricultural operations scattered across the plains.
