2013 Map of Anton

About this map

The unincorporated community of Anton serves as the primary focal point of this Eastern Colorado landscape, situated at the intersection of Us-36 E and Co-63. This 2013 survey illustrates the highly structured grid of the Public Land Survey System, where sections are clearly defined by a network of county roads ranging from Co Road 4 in the south to Co Road 12 in the north. The terrain is marked by the subtle drainage of Gordon Creek, which meanders eastward through the central portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals the characteristic settlement pattern of the High Plains, where human activity is largely tied to the intersections of these expansive section-line roads, such as Co Road CC and Co Road EE, which facilitate transit across the open agricultural and ranching lands of Washington County.
