2016 Map of Ninemile Spring

About this map

Ninemile Spring provides a critical water source in this high plains landscape of Crowley County. The terrain is defined by the prominent elevation of Antelope Mesa in the southeastern quadrant, which overlooks a network of intermittent drainages. Water courses such as Breckenridge Cr and Cramer Cr carve through the plateau, reflecting the arid nature of this region where water dictates the location of early land claims. The map shows a systematic grid of section lines and county roads, including Olney Springs Rd and Co RD V, which facilitate access across the open range. These boundaries, including those of t18s r58w and t19s r59w, delineate the agricultural and ranching parcels that have shaped the local economy since settlement.
