About this map

Comanche National Grassland dominates the southeastern corner of this Otero County landscape, where the high plains of Colorado meet a systematic network of county roads. The terrain is defined by its water management infrastructure, most notably the series of tiered catchments including Swink Reservoir Number 2, Swink Reservoir Number 6, and Swink Reservoir Number 5. These reservoirs, connected by seasonal drainage patterns, illustrate the critical role of irrigation and water storage in this semi-arid environment. The land is strictly organized by the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t24s r58w and t24s r59w providing the framework for local travel along routes such as Co Rd 7 and Co Rd Y. This 2016 survey captures a rural expanse where public grazing lands and private holdings intersect at the section lines.
