2016 Map of Pryor

About this map

Pryor and Monson sit at the southern edge of the Huerfano County line, marking a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high-desert drainage patterns. The terrain transitions from the broad Saliba Mesa down through deep-cut corridors like Pryor Canyon and Black Hawk Canyon. Water management is central to the area's layout, evidenced by the Gomez Ditch and a series of impoundments including Levy Reservoir, Farr Lake, and Saliba Lake. The presence of Tombstone Hill and Bunker Hill provides significant vertical relief against the winding courses of Santa Clara Cr and Walsen Arroyo. This modern survey reflects the enduring cattle-ranching and rural character of southern Colorado, with a network of numbered county roads and named lanes such as Silver Spur Rd and Leather Rd connecting scattered homesteads and topographical landmarks.
