2013 Map of De Nova

About this map

Jack Cr flows through the northwestern corner of this landscape in Washington County, marking one of the few natural hydrographic features in an area dominated by the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System. The terrain is defined by a consistent grid of county thoroughfares, including Co Road RR and Co Road 17, which carve the high plains into precise sections. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring rural structure of the De Nova area, where the road network follows township and range lines such as t002s r050w and t003s r049w. The map reflects a modern era of land management, using data from the National Elevation Dataset and the Bureau of Land Management to document the subtle contours and vast agricultural divisions characteristic of eastern Colorado.
