About this map

Frenchman Creek and Wildhorse Creek define the drainage of this high plains landscape along the border of Phillips County, Colorado, and Chase County, Nebraska. The area is characterized by a sparse, rural settlement pattern defined by an extensive network of irrigation and oil or gas extraction, marked by numerous Wells dotted across the sections. The local community center revolves around Pleasant Valley Cem and a nearby Athletic Field, reflecting the agricultural roots of these borderlands in the early 1970s. A primary roadway cuts diagonally across the northeastern quadrant, featuring a Roadside Park that serves as a quiet landmark for travelers crossing between the two states. This survey provides a clear view of the land-use transition where natural creek beds meet the rigid grid of western section lines.
