2019 Map of Sanborn Reservoir

About this map

Sanborn Reservoir serves as a central hydrological point in this corner of Lincoln County, where the high plains landscape is defined by the ephemeral flow of prairie streams and man-made irrigation. The map reveals a network of drainages including W Br Steels Fork Horse Cr and Steels Fork, illustrating the critical role of water management in this arid region. Culturally, the presence of the Rube Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing early families in the area. The local transportation framework is clearly established through a grid of county roads, such as Co RD 10 and Co RD M, which navigate the township and range boundaries. This survey highlights the intersection of natural drainage systems like Pond Cr with agricultural engineering, notably seen in the Douglas Ditch.
