1970 Map of Snowden Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Apishapa River cuts through this landscape along the border of Pueblo and Otero counties, creating a complex drainage network including Saunders Arroyo and an Old Channel. This 1970 survey documents a ranching and water-management landscape defined by isolated water sources such as La Pear Pond, North Hixon Well, and the Bull Pasture Windmill. The presence of Snowden Lake and Hixon Res indicate deliberate water storage in this arid environment. Significant to local history are the named natural springs like Kitch Spring and the prominent terrain feature known as Whiterock, which serve as vital landmarks for understanding land use and movement through this part of the Colorado plains during the late twentieth century.
