2016 Map of Arsenic Lake

About this map

Arsenic Lake and the meandering path of Rush Creek define this section of the High Plains in Cheyenne County. This survey documents the expansive cattle country of Eastern Colorado, where the landscape is organized by a sparse but vital grid of section roads including Co Rd 10, Co Rd J, and Co Rd G. The presence of ephemeral water sources like the creek bed suggests the seasonal challenges faced by ranchers in this arid environment. Land researchers and local historians can trace the precise boundaries of townships t15s r50w and t16s r49w, which underpin the historic property divisions of the region. The map reflects a modern era of land management while preserving the traditional names of local landmarks that have served as navigational touchstones for generations.
