1977 Map of Cope SW

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Arikaree River winds through the northern portion of this high plains landscape, defining the topography in an otherwise subtle terrain of gradual rises and shallow draws. This 1970s survey captures the boundary between Washington and Kit Carson counties, illustrating the precise section-line road grid that governs the agricultural distribution of the region. A notable genealogical marker is found in the southwest, where a lone Grave is recorded on the prairie. The map identifies numerous groundwater points labeled simply as Well, including the Washkit site, which were vital for sustaining the livestock and farming operations that characterize this stretch of eastern Colorado. The sparse distribution of named features underscores the rural character of the land during this period of field-checked mapping.
