About this map

Big Sandy Creek meanders through this portion of Lincoln County, defining the drainage patterns of the high plains. The landscape is characterized by a sparse network of county roads, including Co RD 26 and Co RD 30, which provide access to the vast agricultural sections of the Public Land Survey System. The presence of Barron Creek in the eastern portion of the survey highlights the subtle topography where seasonal watercourses have carved shallow depressions across the terrain.

A primary transportation corridor is established by the combined route of US Highway 40 and 287, which bisects the quadrangle diagonally from northwest to southeast. This route serves as a modern successor to historical wagon paths, linking distant prairie settlements. The survey captures the intersection of several townships, from t9s r55w to t11s r56w, providing a clear record of property divisions and rural infrastructure in this quiet corner of eastern Colorado.
