2016 Map of Arriba NW

About this map

The Arikaree River meanders across this High Plains landscape, defining a winding drainage system through the northern portion of Lincoln County. This 2016 survey documents the agrarian and natural character of the region, where the river is joined by seasonal tributaries including Currie Creek and Lickdab Creek. The map illustrates a strictly organized section-line grid of rural transportation, anchored by CO Hwy 109 running north-south through the western sections. The landscape is marked by a network of county roads such as CO Rd 3x and CO Rd 3v that serve the outlying ranching and farming tracts. In the southern reaches, the topography continues to be shaped by watercourses like Dugout Creek, which cuts through the open terrain of the high plains plateau.
