2022 Map of Ninemile Spring

About this map

Ninemile Spring serves as a critical water source in this arid landscape of Crowley County, where the topography is defined by subtle elevation changes and seasonal drainages. The intermittent flows of Breckenridge Cr and Cramer Cr snake through the northern sections of the map, illustrating the hydrology of the high plains. The landscape is primarily organized by a rigid grid of rural corridors, including Olney Springs Rd and various numbered county lines like Co LN 8. This arrangement reflects the lasting impact of the Public Land Survey System on Colorado's eastern plains, where large-scale ranching or agricultural operations are structured around these precisely surveyed township and range boundaries. The lack of concentrated settlements highlights the open, rural character of the region during this 2022 survey.
