2019 Map of Windmill Lake

About this map

Windmill Lake sits at the center of this Crowley County landscape, serving as a primary water source in a region defined by ephemeral drainages and intermittent creeks. The terrain is carved by the winding paths of Lone Tree Cr and Breckenridge Cr, which converge and traverse the section lines that organize the local ranching and agricultural tracts. Evidence of rural infrastructure is visible in the network of county roads, including Co Rd AA and Co Rd U, which follow the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System. In the eastern reaches, Dead Horse Cr and Co Ln 17 mark the transition toward neighboring districts, while the southern area is defined by the flow of Bobier. This 2019 survey documents the enduring spatial arrangement of Colorado’s high plains, where water features dictate the placement of local transport routes and land boundaries.
