2010 Map of Antelope Creek West

About this map

Ward Ranch stands as a focal point of human presence in this expanse of Washington County, Colorado, situated at the intersection of a vast grid of county roads. The landscape is defined by its intermittent drainage patterns, with Antelope Creek winding through the center of the quadrangle. Other seasonal watercourses, including Vega Creek, Sand Creek, and Buck Creek, carve subtle paths across the high plains. The rigid geometry of the road system, including County Road P and County Road 24, illustrates the township and range surveying system that organized this agricultural region. This survey captures a moment in the early 21st century when the traditional ranching landscape remained largely intact, defined by wide distances between named landmarks.
