2010 Map of Arriba NE

About this map

The Arikaree River winds across the northern reaches of this Lincoln County landscape, defining the local drainage patterns alongside intermittent tributaries like Dugout Creek and Hell Creek. This 2010 survey illustrates the rigid section-line grid of the High Plains, where a network of gravel roads such as County Rd-41 and County Rd-3X serves a sparse ranching and agricultural community. The terrain is marked by low-relief drainage basins and the distinct, meandering path of the riverbed, which stands in contrast to the geometric precision of the surrounding property boundaries. Small, localized features like Hackberry Creek in the south and various unnamed cattle ponds emphasize the importance of water management in this arid Colorado environment. This map serves as a clear record of rural infrastructure and land use in the early 21st century.
