2022 Map of Olney Springs
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
Olney Springs serves as the primary hub of this high-plains landscape, where the agricultural economy is strictly defined by an intricate network of irrigation engineering. The town sits at the intersection of Warner Ave and the railroad, south of its namesake Olney Springs Reservoir. The map reveals the critical importance of water management in Crowley County, illustrating a dense system of man-made waterways including the Colorado Canal, the Olney Wasteway, and several lateral branches like the Drescher Lateral and Dayton Lateral. To the south, the terrain descends through Hungerford Hollow toward the Arkansas River, which forms the boundary with Otero County. This river corridor stands in contrast to the rigid section-line road grid that dominates the northern plains, where small clusters like King Center mark the persistence of local crossroads communities.
