2010 Map of Barron Creek

About this map

Big Sandy Creek meanders through this portion of Lincoln County, defining the drainage patterns of an open Colorado landscape. The hydrology of the area is further marked by Barron Creek, which cuts across the eastern reaches of the quadrangle. The map reflects a structured rural grid, where transportation is dictated by long-distance routes like County Rd-26 and County Rd-28. The diagonal path of Highway 40 287 provides a sharp contrast to the cardinal orientation of the local county roads, serving as a primary corridor through this high plains region. This 2010 survey illustrates the sparsely populated nature of the territory, where the intersection of watercourses and the section-line road network remains the primary focus of land organization.
