1967 Map of Neenoshe Reservoir

About this map

The Neenoshe Reservoir dominates this High Plains landscape at the border of Kiowa and Prowers counties. In the late 1960s, this area functioned as a critical water management network, evidenced by the series of interconnected basins including Neesopah Reservoir, Neeskah Reservoir, and Neegronda Reservoir. These bodies of water are linked by a complex system of irrigation infrastructure, such as the Lone Wolf Canal, Comanche Canal, and Satanta Canal, which carve through the arid terrain to support local agriculture. A notable isolation is present in the landscape, with a remote Landing Strip situated along the western shore of the main reservoir and a Gravel Pit near the southern boundary, suggesting the area's utility for both light aviation and local material extraction. The map also records the precise county lines where Kiowa, Prowers, and Bent meet.
