2016 Map of Bluff Spring

About this map

Bluff Spring emerges as a key water source in this high plains landscape along the southern border of Lincoln County. The terrain is defined by the gentle drainage of the E Fork Adobe Cr and Adobe Cr, which cut through a region marked by isolated rises like Kim Hill. This survey captures the transition between the rolling prairie of southern Lincoln County and the northern reaches of Kiowa County, an area traditionally dominated by expansive ranching and dryland agriculture. The rural infrastructure is visible through a network of county routes, including CO Hwy 63 and CO Rd 39, which follow the rigid section lines of the Public Land Survey System. These roads provide the primary connections across the vast distances between the scattered seasonal drainages and local landmarks that ground the geography of this sparsely populated portion of eastern Colorado.
