2022 Map of The Pinnacles

About this map

The Pinnacles and Cow Butte define the high points of this prairie landscape along the border of Crowley and Kiowa Counties. The terrain is characterized by the intermittent drainage of Sand Arroyo, which winds through the eastern portion of the sheet. Modern ranching and transport are reflected in the grid of county roads, including Co RD BB and Co LN 27, which partition the wide-open township and range blocks. Local history is centered at the Sand Arroyo Cem near the Kiowa county line, a significant site for genealogists tracking early families in this part of Colorado. The geography is primarily defined by shallow depressions like Black Draw, which channel the seasonal water flow across these semi-arid plains.
