2016 Map of Cope SE

About this map

The high plains of eastern Colorado converge at a triple point of county boundaries on this sheet, where Washington, Yuma, and Kit Carson counties meet. This arid landscape is defined by a rigorous section-line road grid, including Co Rd 3 and Co Rd Aaa, which partitions the terrain into large agricultural blocks typical of the region's ranching and dry-farming heritage. A singular point of genealogical interest, the Smit Cem, sits in the southeastern quadrant near the junction of Co Rd Mm and Co RD 21. The map reveals a sparsely populated area where the economy is etched into the earth through isolated water tanks and a network of county roads like Co Rd Pp and Co Rd Ll that navigate the subtle topographic rises and depressions of the Great Plains.
