About this map

Olney Springs sits at the heart of this Crowley County agricultural landscape, where the high plains are transformed by an intricate network of irrigation systems. The town is defined by its relationship with water management, evidenced by the Olney Wasteway and the major Colorado Canal which traverses the northern reaches. To the south, the terrain descends toward the Arkansas River, marking the boundary between Crowley and Otero counties.

This 2013 topographic survey illustrates the geometric precision of the High Plains settlement pattern, with a dense grid of local roads like CO Lane 7 and CO Road D.25 servicing scattered farmsteads and the smaller community at King Center. The local economy is mapped through its arterial waterways, including the Rocky Ford Lateral, Drescher Lateral, and Auckland Lateral. Genealogical interest is anchored by the Olney Springs Cem, located just south of the main settlement near the river's northern banks.
