2017 Map of South Fork Reservoir

About this map

South Fork Reservoir and Clark Reservoir anchor the southern reaches of this Prairie County landscape, where water management is central to the local geography. The map traces the intricate drainage patterns of the region, specifically the many branches of Cherry Creek, including the N Fork Cherry Cr and S Fork Cherry Cr. These waterways, along with Plenty Cr and Morris Cr, create a complex network of ephemeral streams and springs like Sig Spring that have long dictated movement across these high plains. Access to these remote drainages is defined by a sparse grid of rural routes, including Bowgun Rd and the parallel tracks of N Cherry Creek Rd and Cherry Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the stream valleys through townships T14N and T13N.
