2022 Map of Seven Lakes Reservoir

About this map

Apishapa River flows through the northern reaches of this high plains landscape, cutting through an area defined by wide basins and seasonal watercourses. The central feature, the Seven Lakes Reservoir, serves as a vital hydrological point in a region characterized by prominent lowlands like Tyrone Flats and Adobe Flats. These landforms suggest a traditional ranching or grazing environment, where natural drainage systems like Salado Cr and the Van Bremer Arroyo dictate the movement of livestock and the placement of rural infrastructure. The mapping reveals a sparse but deliberate network of county routes, including Co RD 64 and Co RD 93.9, which connect these remote tracts within Las Animas County. This USGS topographic survey provides a detailed look at the Public Land Survey System grid, illustrating the section lines that historically organized the settlement of the Colorado territory.
