About this map

Arriba serves as the central hub of this Eastern Colorado landscape, situated along a major east-west transportation corridor. The town's layout is clearly defined against the surrounding agricultural grid, which is segmented by an extensive network of rural routes such as County Rd 3H and County Rd 42. This 2010 survey highlights the community's local history through the presence of the Arriba Evergreen Cemetery to the west and the Arriba Cemetery to the south, providing valuable touchpoints for genealogical research.

The natural geography is defined by the intermittent drainage patterns of the High Plains, where Hackberry Creek and Hell Creek meander across the northern sections of the quadrangle. These watercourses, along with Buffalo Creek in the southeast, dictate the subtle variations in the terrain. The map captures a moment of modern infrastructure superimposed on a traditional ranching and farming environment, showing how the local road system interacts with the primary highway and frontage roads that bisect the settlement.
