2019 Map of Akron

About this map

Akron serves as the focal point of this Eastern Colorado landscape, exhibiting a classic high plains grid system defined by the intersection of major thoroughfares like W 1st St and Grand Ave. The town's civic importance is anchored by the Washington County Courthouse, while its aviation role is represented by the Colorado Plains Regional Airport to the north. Water management in this semi-arid region is evident through features such as the Akron Reservoir and the Akron-Washington Company Recreation Reservoir, which support both local utilities and recreation. Genealogists will find the locations of Akron Cem and Saint Joseph's Cem useful for local research. Beyond the town limits, the terrain is characterized by the drainage of Twentytwo Slough and a vast network of county roads like Co RD 42 and Co RD 88 that partition the surrounding agricultural sections.
