2011 Map of Snowden Lake

About this map

Whiterock and the surrounding high plains of Pueblo County appear here in a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and ranching infrastructure. The Apishapa River winds through the center of the quadrangle, flanked by its Old Channel and the dry beds of Saunders Arroyo and Buffalo Arroyo. This 2011 survey reveals how water management is central to the area's utility, marked by features such as Snowden Lake, La Pear Pond, and Hixon Reservoir. The network of functional landmarks, including the Bull Pasture Windmill and the specifically noted Rock Crossing, indicates a long-standing reliance on these specific points for navigating the prairie. Roadways like Flying A Rd and Whiterock Rd provide the primary access to this sparse ranching territory, where Kitch Spring remains a notable natural water source in an otherwise arid environment.
