2013 Map of Buckingham

About this map

Buckingham marks the primary settlement in this high plains landscape, situated near the intersection of State Hwy 14 and several county roads. The northern portion of the region is defined by the Pawnee National Grassland, where the terrain is scored by the drainage of South Pawnee Creek. To the south, the landscape transitions across the boundary between Weld and Morgan counties, featuring more varied relief near Sterling Canyon and the headwaters of Wildcat Creek. This 2013 survey illustrates a modern rural infrastructure of section-line roads, such as CO Road 80 and CO Road 121, which support isolated aviation facilities like Williams Ranch Airport and Wirth Field Airport. The map provides a clear record of the rectilinear land divisions and drainage patterns that characterize this portion of the Colorado plains.
