About this map

Neenoshe Reservoir dominates this landscape on the borders of Prowers, Kiowa, and Bent Counties, illustrating the complex water management systems of eastern Colorado. This 2019 survey captures a network of engineered waterways designed to distribute resources across the arid plains, including the Lone Wolf Canal, Comanche Canal, and the Satanta Canal. These channels connect a series of basins such as Neesopah Reservoir, Neeskah Reservoir, and King Reservoir, which serve as vital hubs for the surrounding agricultural environment.

The map reveals the intersection of three counties, with the Kiowa Co and Prowers Co lines meeting near the southern reservoirs. A rigid grid of county roads, including Co RD E and Co RD A, facilitates movement between these remote water bodies. This topographical record is essential for understanding how modern irrigation infrastructure has reshaped the natural depressions of the high plains, such as Mud Lake.
