2019 Map of Barron Creek

About this map

Big Sandy Creek flows southeast across this stretch of the Colorado plains in Lincoln County, carving a wide, shallow valley through the arid landscape. The area is defined by its rural section-line road network and the diagonal path of US Highway 40/287, which connects the region's scattered agricultural tracts. The map illustrates a high-plains environment where water is the primary architect of the terrain, as seen in the drainage of Barron Cr and the numerous unnamed draws that feed into the main Big Sandy Creek basin. County infrastructure, including Co RD 26 and Co RD 3e, provides the primary access to the large ranching and farming divisions within Townships 9, 10, and 11 South. This survey is an essential document for understanding the modern rural layout and land use of the eastern Colorado plains.
