2022 Map of Snowden Lake

About this map

Apishapa River winds through the high plains of southeastern Colorado, carving a complex drainage network that includes the Old Channel Apishapa River and the seasonal waters of Saunders Arroyo. The landscape is characterized by its wide-open ranching character, where man-made water features like Hixon Reservoir, La Pear Pond, and Snowden Lake represent vital resources in an arid environment. Near the settlement of Whiterock, the terrain is marked by a grid of rural routes including Whiterock Rd and White Rock Rd. The southeastern portion of the map is dominated by the Comanche National Grassland, highlighting a region dedicated to conservation and public range. This modern survey captures the persistence of traditional land use and the intricate water management systems like Kitch Spring that sustain the remote prairies of Pueblo and Otero Counties.
