2016 Map of Sanborn Reservoir

About this map

Water management and drainage define this high plains landscape in Lincoln County, where the Sanborn Reservoir and Brett Gray Reservoir serve as vital catchment points. The terrain is etched by a network of seasonal watercourses including Steels Fork and Pond Cr, while the Douglas Ditch illustrates the long-standing importance of controlled irrigation in this arid region. The presence of the Rube Cem along Co RD 8 provides a discrete point of genealogical interest for local families, marking a quiet legacy of the early ranching era. A grid of county roads, such as Co RD M and Co RD 10, crisscross the township lines of t15s r59w and t16s r58w, showing the enduring structure of the Public Land Survey System in eastern Colorado.
