2022 Map of Clarkville NE

About this map

Phillips Co and Yuma Co meet in this 2022 survey of the Colorado high plains, where the grid of the Public Land Survey System defines the landscape. The small settlement of Clarkville anchors the southwestern portion of the sheet, situated at the junction of Co Rd 57 and Co Rd N. The terrain is characterized by the subtle drainage of Patent Creek, which meanders through the northern townships, cutting across Co Rd 11 and Co Rd 15 as it flows toward the northeast corner of the quadrangle. The map captures the highly regularized transport network of contemporary farming, dominated by numbered county roads that follow section lines. This geographic layout illustrates the enduring influence of the Homestead Act's township and range divisions on the modern agricultural borders of northeastern Colorado.
