About this map

Water management and cattle ranching shape the landscape of this Pueblo County expanse, where numerous reservoirs are scattered across the arid drainage basins of Mustang Cr and Yellowbank Cr. The presence of features like Schoolhouse Reservoir, Bull Pasture Reservoir, and Altman Reservoir suggests a history of localized irrigation and livestock support in a region defined by its dry draws and arroyos.

Remote county roads like Co RD 729 and Co RD 3702 provide the primary access to the interior, linking the small settlement area of Yellowbank with the surrounding high plains. Notable landmarks such as Bombing Range Reservoir and Hardesty Draw reflect the intersection of military history and natural topography, while Dry Lake and Red Top Reservoir further illustrate the seasonal and managed nature of the local hydrology.
