2013 Map of Cottonwood Valley North

About this map

Cottonwood Valley defines this eastern Colorado landscape, where the high plains are carved by a network of seasonal drainage ways. The map captures the quiet intersection of Adams and Arapahoe Counties, a region dominated by ranching and agricultural operations like the Arrow K Ranch. A notable genealogical landmark is the Jolly Family Cem, situated just south of Us-36 E, which serves as the primary east-west artery across the northern section of the quadrangle. Water management is critical in this arid environment, evidenced by the Jolly John Reservoir and the multiple named creeks including Cottonwood Cr, Rattlesnake Cr, and Badger Cr. The grid of county roads, such as S Co Road 273 and Co Road 14, provides the framework for the sparsely populated townships that stretch toward Mail Box Draw.
