2022 Map of Cottonwood Valley North

About this map

The rolling drainage systems of eastern Colorado define this landscape, where the Cottonwood Valley serves as a central topographical feature. This area, located along the boundary of Adams and Arapahoe counties, is characterized by a network of intermittent streams and draws including Cottonwood Cr, Badger Cr, and Rattlesnake Creek. The map documents a sparse, rural infrastructure typical of the High Plains, dominated by a rectilinear grid of section lines and county roads such as Co RD 2 and Yacatan Rd. The placement of Hollingsworth Rd and S Paperbirch Rd among the draws of Wetzel Cr illustrates the intersection of modern property boundaries with the natural water-carved terrain of the region.
