2013 Map of Barrel Springs Draw

About this map

Barrel Springs and its surrounding drainage systems define this high-plains landscape in eastern Lincoln County. The map provides a detailed view of the natural water sources and depressions that dictated the settlement and grazing patterns of this arid region, most notably Rush Creek and the eponymous Barrel Springs Draw. The grid of county roads, including CO Road S and CO Road 63, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating the orderly division of the territory into townships like t015s r053w. Geologic and topographic depressions such as Rock Basin, Hubbard Lake, and Stacy Lakes Draw offer specific points of interest for researchers studying the hydrology and land use of the Colorado plains in the early twenty-first century.
