2022 Map of Arriba NE

About this map

The Arikaree River winds through the northern reaches of this rural Lincoln County landscape, defining the hydrology of a region where water is a vital but scarce resource. This 2022 survey captures the high plains of Eastern Colorado, characterized by a grid-like network of rural routes such as Co Hwy 63 and Co Rd 41 that segment the prairie for agricultural use. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainage patterns, most notably the meandering paths of Hell Creek and Dugout Creek, which carve subtle depressions into the landscape. The presence of Hackberry Cr in the south further illustrates the interconnected watershed system that supports the local ranching and farming operations. This map serves as a contemporary record of the land divisions and transportation corridors that continue to shape life in this part of the Colorado plains.
