About this map

Cedar Point sits on the eastern edge of this section of the High Plains, where the terrain is defined by a series of drainage basins that carve through Elbert County. The hydrological network is led by East Bijou Cr and the namesake Beuck Draw, creating a landscape of repeating ridges and troughs. This topography is further detailed by several prominent incisions including East Godfrey Gulch, Godfrey Gulch, and Willow Gulch, which dictate the local movement of water and the placement of rural infrastructure.

A grid of county roads, such as Co Rd 153 and Co Rd 134, provides the primary framework for the area, following the Public Land Survey System lines that divide townships like t8s r59w and t8s r58w. The map reflects a modern rural environment where historic land divisions continue to influence the modern transportation network and the spacing of sparse ranching or agricultural settlements across the Colorado plains.
