About this map

The high plains of Southeast Colorado are defined by subtle elevation shifts and essential water management in this 2016 survey. Near the tri-county junction of Otero, Crowley, and Kiowa counties, Lolita Reservoir serves as a critical hydrological anchor for the surrounding drylands. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainage patterns like Black Draw, which cuts through the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. The namesake Todd Point stands as a prominent topographical landmark in the eastern section, rising above the section lines that organize this agricultural landscape.

Transportation is dominated by a rigid grid of county roads, including Co Rd S 5/10 and Co Rd P, which reflect the systematic Public Land Survey System. These routes delineate the large tracts of land typical of this region's ranching and farming operations. The map provides a precise record of the physical boundaries where the corner of Crowley County and Otero County meet, showing the intersection of political geography and the natural environment.
