2010 Map of Clarkville

About this map

Clarkville anchors the southeastern corner of this high plains landscape in Yuma County, Colorado. The settlement is defined by a grid of rural county roads that facilitate access to the surrounding agricultural land, with County Rd-56 and County Rd L marking the immediate vicinity. Two significant local burial sites, Bryant Cemetery in the northeast and Rockland Cemetery near the center, serve as important landmarks for family historians and genealogists researching the residents of this prairie region. The hydrology is dominated by the winding paths of Coyote Creek and Patent Creek, which cut through the level terrain. In the southwest, the landform known as Antelope Gap suggests a natural passage or break in the topography, reflecting the region's character as a classic western grassland managed through an extensive network of range roads and section lines.
