2010 Map of Cottonwood Valley South

About this map

Cross J Ranch sits amidst a network of intermittent watercourses in this high plains landscape at the start of the 21st century. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Cottonwood Creek, Rattlesnake Creek, and Beaver Creek, which carve subtle paths through the territory. This 2010 survey highlights a sparse but organized infrastructure of rural routes, including Four Mile Rd and Wardel Rd, which serve the agricultural and ranching interests of the region. The map reveals the persistence of traditional land use and the layout of local travel ways like Hilltop Rd and Rocky Rd, providing a clear view of the area's development before further modern expansion. The presence of named ranches and specific road alignments offers valuable data for those tracing local land ownership and the evolution of rural Arapahoe County infrastructure.
