1968 Map of Sheridan Lake SW

About this map

Big Sandy Creek winds through the southwestern corner of this Colorado landscape, marking a distinct drainage pattern against the high plains of the Kiowa Co and Prowers Co border. This 1968 survey reveals a sparse, rural environment dominated by wide depressions like Coon Valley and occasional landmarks such as Lone. The terrain is defined by a series of low ridges and intermittent water sources, indicated by several scattered Well sites that supported local ranching or agricultural efforts during this period. The survey captures the exact township and range divisions of this borderland, where the straight-line political boundary between counties contrasts with the natural, erratic path of the creek bed. This map serves as a precise record of land use and water management in a region where every well and topographical feature is a critical marker of the local geography.
