2019 Map of Arsenic Lake

About this map

Arsenic Lake sits in the high plains of Cheyenne County, marking a distinctive natural depression in an otherwise steady expanse of eastern Colorado terrain. This 2019 survey captures the drainage patterns of Rush Creek, which meanders across the southern half of the quadrangle. The landscape is defined by a rigid grid of county roads, including Co Rd J and Co Rd G, which trace the section lines established by the Public Land Survey System. These routes provide the primary infrastructure for the large-scale agricultural and ranching operations that characterize the region. The map provides a clear look at the township and range boundaries, such as t15s r50w and t16s r49w, illustrating how the land was partitioned and managed. The sparse settlement pattern and the seasonal nature of the water features reflect the semi-arid environment of the High Plains.
