2016 Map of Cockleburr Springs

About this map

Cockleburr Springs sits at the heart of this high plains landscape, marking a vital water source in an area defined by wide-open terrain and ephemeral drainages. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and county roads, such as Co Rd 5 and Co Rd D, which dictate the movement of ranching and transit across the border of Lincoln Co and Crowley Co. Seasonal watercourses like Breckenridge Cr and Cramer Cr cut through the contours, illustrating the natural drainage patterns of this rural Colorado region. The sparse distribution of named features suggests a landscape dedicated to large-scale land use and open-range livestock management during the mid-2010s, where small landmarks like the springs provided essential orientation for local residents and land managers.
