2019 Map of Aroya

About this map

Big Sandy Creek winds through the high plains landscape of the eastern Colorado borderlands, defining the drainage patterns of this sparsely populated region. The settlement of Aroya sits near the creek's edge, served by a network of county roads including Co RD T and Co RD U. This 2019 survey documents the enduring pastoral character of the area where the Lincoln Co and Cheyenne Co line divides the terrain. For those researching local lineages, the Aroya Cem is a primary landmark situated north of the main settlement near Aroya Gulch. The map's contouring illustrates the subtle breaks in elevation along Folger Gulch, providing a clear view of the ranching and agricultural grid that has shaped the high plains for generations.
