About this map

Arriba sits as the central hub of this High Plains landscape, situated along the critical corridor of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad. The town's grid is clearly defined, featuring a local Park and essential infrastructure like the Sewage Disposal Ponds to the east. Outside the settlement, the geography is shaped by a series of intermittent drainages, including the aptly named Hell Creek, Hackberry Creek, and Buffalo Creek, which carve gentle patterns across the open terrain.

Evidence of local industry and transport is scattered throughout the township, from a Gravel Pit in the northwest to a remote Landing Strip and a regional Pipeline cutting through the northern sections. A small Cem south of the tracks provides a point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in Lincoln County during the late 1970s. Numerous wells dotted across the landscape underscore the importance of water management in this agricultural environment.
