1977 Map of Arickaree

About this map

Gordon Creek meanders through this portion of Washington County, defining the drainage patterns of an agricultural landscape in the late 1970s. The small settlement of Arickaree serves as a local focal point, supported by the Arickaree Sch located to the north near the section lines of Township 4 South. This survey captures a rural environment where infrastructure is minimal, marked primarily by isolated landmarks like a Radio Tower and localized sandpits. To the northeast, the map reaches the vicinity of Wiladel, while prominent elevations such as Payne Hill break the steady rise of the high plains. The grid-like arrangement of section roads reflects the orderly land division characteristic of Eastern Colorado, providing clear reference points for researchers tracking property boundaries and historical land use in this specific quadrangle.
