About this map

The Arikaree River cuts through the northwest corner of this plains landscape, marking a vital water source in an area defined by a strict grid of section lines and gravel roads. Located along the border where Washington Co meets Kit Carson Co, the terrain is characterized by the expansive Public Land Survey System, with townships like t5s r50w and t6s r50w mapped in fine detail.

A network of rural thoroughfares, including Co Rd 0 and Co Rd RR, provides the primary structure for the scattered agricultural life of the region. The map captures the subtle topography of the high plains, showing the intermittent drainage patterns and small depressions that dot the sections between Co Rd NN and Co Rd KK. This 2019 survey illustrates the enduring rural organization of Eastern Colorado, where the transition between counties is marked only by a surveyor’s line through the open country.
