2019 Map of Alvin NE

About this map

The High Plains landscape at the tri-point of Colorado and Nebraska is defined by a sparse but orderly network of section-line roads and the undulating topography of the Sandhills. This survey illustrates the convergence of Yuma and Phillips counties in Colorado with Chase County in Nebraska. The region's agricultural layout is established through the Public Land Survey System, as seen in the boundaries of t6n r42w and t5n r42w. The terrain is marked by a series of depressions and small basins, characteristic of this arid prairie environment. Human presence is concentrated along a skeletal grid of rural routes including Co RD 10 and Co RD 58, which connect isolated farmsteads and facilitate the movement of goods across the state line. The map captures the quiet, expansive nature of this ranching and dry-land farming territory before the modern era.
