About this map

Akron serves as the central hub for this High Plains landscape, where a grid of section-line roads like County Rd 41 and County Road DD defines the agricultural and industrial character of Washington County. The settlement patterns here are deeply tied to water management and resource extraction, evidenced by the presence of the Akron Reservoir and the Akron-Washington Company Recreation Reservoir to the south.

Industry and infrastructure are key focal points of this 2010 survey, ranging from the Akron-Washington County Airport to extractive sites like the East Akron Oil Field and the Redwing Oil Field. Local history is preserved at the Akron Cemetery and Saint Joseph's Cemetery, while the northern reaches are marked by the drainage of Twentytwo Slough. The coexistence of the Washington Granite Quarry and the Schoenecker Pit alongside extensive recreation dams highlights a varied economy of mining and municipal water storage on the Colorado plains.
