2019 Map of Anton SE

About this map

The Arikaree River and its North Fork Arikaree River carve a winding course through this high plains landscape on the border of Washington and Kit Carson counties. This 2019 survey captures the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System, where section lines are mirrored by a rigid network of gravel and dirt tracks like Co Rd Hh and Co Rd Ll. The drainage patterns of the river create the only significant relief in an otherwise flat agricultural expanse, defined by township boundaries t5s r51w and t6s r50w. The map serves as a contemporary record of rural infrastructure, documenting the sparse placement of farmsteads and water management features in a region where the vastness of the prairie meets the vital irrigation source of the Arikaree basin.
