2012 Map of Arcola

About this map

Arcola marks a high plains landscape in Laramie County, where the transition from Wyoming into Colorado is defined more by surveying lines than natural barriers. The settlement sits north of Crow Cr, a watercourse that winds eastward across the grid-patterned terrain. This 2012 survey illustrates the critical role of water management in this arid region, as evidenced by the Beaver Dam Ditch and the Beaver Dam Reservoir. These engineering features highlight the persistent efforts to redirect local hydrology for agricultural or municipal use. To the south, the path of Little Crow Cr carves its own route through the section lines, while a dense network of county roads, including Co RD-146 and Co RD-200, maintains the connectivity of this rural ranching and farming district.
