2019 Map of Cockleburr Springs

About this map

Cockleburr Springs provides a rare water source in this dry section of eastern Colorado, situated where the high plains begin to fold into the drainage basins of Breckenridge Cr and Cramer Cr. This 2019 survey captures the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System, where section lines are traced by a network of rural routes including Co Rd 5 and Co Rd 8. The landscape is defined by its transition across the Lincoln Co and Crowley Co boundary, illustrating a vast, open territory largely dedicated to ranching and local transit. While largely devoid of dense settlements, the map details the intermittent watercourses and topographic relief that dictate the movement of people and livestock across the plains between the established county corridors of Co Rd D and Co Rd G.
