About this map

Metz Springs and the surrounding high plains of southeastern Colorado define this landscape at the intersection of Lincoln, Crowley, and Kiowa counties. The area is characterized by intermittent watercourses and seasonal basins, including Roundtree Lake and Blakeman Lake, which are essential features in this arid ranching environment. Drainage patterns are dictated by the North Fork Mustang Creek and the southern reaches of Sand Arroyo, illustrating the subtle topography of the region.

Elevated landmarks like Wild Horse Point and the Black Hills provide natural orientation points across the vast township and range system. This 2022 survey documents the persistent grid of county roads, such as Co RD 27 and Co RD D, which connect the isolated springs and cattle tanks that have supported local agriculture for generations. The map serves as a clear record of the modern boundaries where Lincoln meets Kiowa County.
