2010 Map of Barrel Springs Draw

About this map

Barrel Springs Draw carves a path through this part of Lincoln County, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape marked by wide basins and intermittent watercourses. The settlement of Swift sits along the western edge of the quadrangle, connected to the surrounding ranching country by an established grid of rural roads. To the northeast, the terrain opens into Rock Basin, while Rush Creek winds across the northern and eastern sections of the map. This 2010 survey reflects the enduring spatial organization of the High Plains, where the transportation network, including County Road J and County Rd S, follows the long-established section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The map captures the intersection of natural features and the human imprint on this prairie environment, showing how modern county infrastructure overlays the ancient paths of seasonal draws and creeks.
