2022 Map of Olathe NW

About this map

The town of Olathe sits at the southwestern corner of this Colorado landscape, where the Uncompahgre River flows through a valley defined by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure. The territory is marked by the transition from the river bottom to East Mesa and the rolling terrain of Peach Valley. A complex system of water management is evident in the numerous labeled waterways like the Selig Canal, G K Lateral, and G H B Lateral, which have historically supported agriculture in this arid region of the Western Slope. To the north, the Sky Island Ranch Airport serves as a small aviation landmark among a grid of rural roads and residential lanes. The landscape is also etched by natural drainages such as Loutsenhizer Arroyo, while more modern recreational or access paths like the Sidewinder Trl and Elephant Ditch Trl cross the higher ground to the east.
