About this map

Wild Horse Lake and the seasonally shifting Dry Wild Horse Lake anchor this portion of the Logan County high plains, a landscape defined by an extensive grid of section-line roads and water management systems. The terrain transitions from the low-lying basins of Yenter Pool toward the more pronounced topography of the Pawnee Hills in the southwest corner. This area is heavily influenced by the drainage patterns of Wild Horse Creek and the bifurcated channels of Pawnee Inlet Number 1 and Pawnee Inlet Number 2.

Navigating the region’s elevation, North Pawnee Pass provides a key geographical marker among the breaks, while the map’s detailed record of county roads—from the primary County Rd 44 to the more specialized County Rd 19 4/10—reveals the infrastructure of contemporary Colorado ranching and land use. Small tributaries like Raymer Creek and Pawnee Creek cross the southern sections, illustrating the subtle hydrology of the eastern plains.
