2010 Map of Seven Lakes Reservoir

About this map

Seven Lakes Reservoir serves as a central hydrological feature in this rural Las Animas County landscape, where the Seven Lakes Dam manages water flow across the arid plains. The terrain is characterized by broad expanses such as Tyrone Flats and Adobe Flats, which are carved by seasonal and perennial watercourses. The Apishapa River winds through the northern portion of the region, joined by Salado Creek, while the southern reaches are defined by the winding path of Van Bremer Arroyo. This 2010 survey illustrates the sparse road network and the critical reliance on managed water resources in the high plains of southern Colorado, providing a clear record of the intersection between topographical drainage and water storage infrastructure.
