1996 Map of Utleyville

About this map

Comanche National Grassland dominates this high-plains landscape in southeastern Colorado, where the transition from ranching to conservation is marked by sprawling public lands and sparse residential clusters. The settlement of Utleyville serves as a small anchor along the southern reaches, while the isolated site of Martin appears to the northwest near the winding course of Little Mustang Creek. The terrain is defined by dry-land water features and canyons, including Cat Canyon and the branching drainage of North Fork and South Fork Sand Arroyo. Utility corridors and pipelines cut across the topography, highlighting the region's role in resource transport. Evidence of local industry is visible in scattered Gravel Pits, while the presence of a Stock Tank and various wells underscores the continuous importance of water management in this arid grazing environment.
