About this map

The High Plains of Washington County are defined here by a systematic grid of section lines and the seasonal drainage of Jack Cr. This 2016 survey highlights the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries for t1s r50w, t1s r49w, t2s r50w, and t2s r49w intersecting in a landscape primarily dedicated to agriculture and grazing. The terrain is marked by gentle undulations and intermittent wetlands, particularly visible between Co Rd 27 and Co Rd 26.

A network of local roads provides the primary infrastructure for this rural area, including Field Rd and various county routes like Rd Tt and Co Rd Uu. These thoroughfares follow the cardinal directions of the survey grid, connecting isolated farmsteads and ranches. The presence of Co Rd 22 and Co Rd 29 at the southern and northern extents illustrates the connectivity of this sparse but organized corner of eastern Colorado.
