About this map

Long Family Cem sits at the heart of this high plains landscape, representing the deep-rooted agricultural heritage of eastern Colorado. The terrain is defined by the gradual descent of the Arikaree River valley in the southeast corner, where intermittent drainage systems like Black Wolf Cr and Dry Willow Cr have carved intricate patterns into the tableland. Rising above the local topography, Squaw Hill provides a distinct landmark in a region characterized by its expansive horizons and a systematic grid of county roads. The network of routes, including Co RD 29 and Co RD 22, facilitates movement across the township lines of T1S and T2S, connecting isolated homesteads and ranching operations to the broader Yuma County geography. This survey documents the persistent rural character of the area, where the lifeblood of the land remains tied to the seasonal flows of the N Fork Dry Willow Cr and its tributaries.
