2013 Map of Arlington NE

About this map

Adobe Creek meanders through this portion of Kiowa County, carving a winding path through the High Plains landscape of southeastern Colorado. The drainage pattern of Adobe Creek and its tributary, Johns Creek, defines the local topography, which is otherwise organized by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System. This 2013 survey illustrates a rural environment primarily shaped by agricultural transport and water management. Modern infrastructure is represented by Co-96, which cuts diagonally across the southern half of the map, providing a primary arterial connection through the region. Secondary travel is facilitated by a network of gravel and dirt routes such as CO Road P and CO Road 9. The map provides a clear look at the township and range boundaries that have governed land ownership and development in this section of the state since the initial homesteading era.
