2019 Map of Amherst SW

About this map

Frenchman Cr and Wildhorse Cr meander through the high plains of Phillips County, defining the drainage patterns of this agricultural landscape. This 2019 survey reflects the enduring grid of the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries such as t7n r44w and t8n r43w guiding the layout of the local road network. The map reveals a highly structured environment where county roads like Co Rd 26 and Co RD 55 create a regular lattice across the terrain. These routes provide essential access to the vast sections of farmland that dominate the area, illustrating the intersection of natural hydrology and human-imposed order in eastern Colorado. The sparse distribution of named water features underscores the semi-arid character of the region, where every drainage is a critical landmark.
