About this map

Colby serves as the focal point of this Thomas County survey, situated at the confluence of several regional roads and divided by the prominent east-west thoroughfare of W 4th St and E 4th St. The town's administrative and social core is anchored by the Thomas County Courthouse, while the southern reaches host the Colby Community College campus along College St. Local genealogy is well-documented through the inclusion of Beulah Cem and Sacred Heart Cem, providing clear reference points for family researchers.

The surrounding landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Prairie Dog Cr and S Fork Sappa Cr, which carve through the high plains. North of the main settlement, Shatz Field marks the area's aviation infrastructure. This layout illustrates a quintessential High Plains agricultural hub, where the rigid section-line grid of roads like Co RD R and Co RD Z contrasts with the natural, winding paths of the local creeks.
