1970 Map of Snowden Lake

About this map

Apishapa River cuts through this high plains landscape at the borders of Pueblo, Otero, and Las Animas counties, revealing a region defined by water management and ranching operations. The presence of Bull Pasture Windmill, North Hixon Well, and Hixon Res suggests a carefully utilized grazing land where every spring and arroyo was critical to local survival. The settlement of Whiterock sits in the northwest, while the southeastern portion of the map is dominated by the namesake Snowden Lake.
