2010 Map of Anton

About this map

Anton sits at the intersection of early 21st-century rural transit routes in Washington County, marking a high-plains settlement defined by its grid of sectional roads. The landscape is primarily shaped by the drainage of Gordon Creek, which meanders across the central and western portions of the quadrangle. This survey illustrates the persistent importance of the county road network, featuring numbered and lettered routes such as County Rd-12 and County Road BB. The sparse distribution of named features reflects the character of the Colorado plains, where land use is dictated by the availability of water and the accessibility of these primary thoroughfares. Genealogists and local historians can use this map to pinpoint the exact orientation of farmsteads and rural properties relative to established routes like County Road CC and County Rd-8.
