2013 Map of Amherst SW

About this map

Frenchman Creek and Wildhorse Creek define the drainage of this high plains landscape in Phillips County. The terrain is characterized by the structured grid of the Public Land Survey System, with township lines for t007n r043w and surrounding ranges marking the vast agricultural sections. Transportation is dominated by the linear path of Us-6 W and Us-6 E, which cut across the center of the quadrangle. Aside from these primary routes, the map is defined by a rigorous network of county roads including Co Road 26 and Co Road 12, which serve the rural farming plots typical of the Colorado eastern plains. This 2013 survey reflects a landscape of managed agricultural production, where intermittent watercourses provide the only interruption to the geometric precision of the road network.
