2022 Map of Anton

About this map

Anton sits at the intersection of several primary county roads in this portion of Washington County, serving as a central point for the surrounding agricultural plains. The landscape is defined by the winding path of Gordon Creek, which cuts through the high plains terrain, providing a natural break in the gridded township and range system. This modern survey reflects the enduring section-line road network, including Co RD 8 and Co RD 12, which have historically facilitated the movement of goods and livestock across the Colorado prairie. The map illustrates a sparse, resilient settlement pattern where habitation is concentrated near reliable water sources like Gordon Cr or at key transit junctions, maintaining the traditional character of eastern Colorado's ranching and farming heritage.
