About this map

The settlement of Arickaree sits at the center of this High Plains landscape, where the traditional grid of county roads meets the winding path of Gordon Cr. This 2016 survey documents a sparsely populated region of Washington County defined by expansive sections of the Public Land Survey System, including t4s r51w and t4s r50w. The map illustrates a highly organized rural infrastructure, where routes like Co Rd 12 and Co Rd 4 define the boundaries of large agricultural tracts.

In the northern reaches of the quadrangle, the small community of Wiladel is positioned along the county line, served by a network of alphanumeric roads such as Co RD JJ and Co RD PP. The topography is subtly marked by the drainage patterns of Gordon Cr, which cuts across the southern townships, providing a natural contrast to the rigid human-made corridors that facilitate movement across this section of eastern Colorado.
