2010 Map of Arriba NW

About this map

The Arikaree River meanders across this high plains landscape of eastern Colorado, defining the natural drainage pattern of a region dominated by vast agricultural sections and cattle ranching. This 2010 survey shows a meticulously organized grid of section lines and rural thoroughfares such as County Rd-109 and County Rd-3X, which facilitate movement across the open range. Several intermittent waterways, including Lickdab Creek and Dugout Creek, carve subtle depressions through the terrain, while Currie Creek flows through the western portion of the quadrangle. The lack of concentrated settlements reflects the sparse, rural nature of this portion of Lincoln County, where the economy remains tied to the land and the seasonal flow of its prairie rivers.
