2013 Map of Wild Horse Lake

About this map

Pawnee Valley anchors the southern portion of this Logan County landscape, where the terrain rises toward the Pawnee Hills and North Pawnee Pass. The area is defined by a complex network of water management and natural drainages, including the Pawnee Inlet Number 1 and Pawnee Inlet Number 2. These features, along with Wild Horse Lake and Yenter Pool, suggest a region focused on water storage and agricultural irrigation within a dry high-plains environment. A rigid grid of county roads, such as CO Road 40 and CO Road 15, partitions the land into sections, indicating the long-standing influence of the Public Land Survey System. Seasonal waterways like Wild Horse Creek and Sand Creek meander across these boundaries, illustrating the intersection of natural topography and human organization.
