About this map

Deer Trail serves as the primary hub of this High Plains landscape, where the town grid meets a network of local thoroughfares including 1st Ave, 3rd Ave, and S Price Rd. The topography is defined by the subtle drainage basins of several watercourses that carve through the prairie, most notably the Middle Bijou Cr and E Bijou Cr. These streams are accompanied by numerous seasonal drainages such as Wilson Creek, Hay Gulch, and Willow Gulch, which dictate the placement of ranch roads and section lines.

The boundary between Arapahoe and Elbert Counties runs horizontally across the map, bisecting a region largely dedicated to open range and agricultural parcels. Local genealogists may find interest in the location of Evergreen Cem situated just east of the main settlement. The land is systematically organized by the Public Land Survey System, as evidenced by township markers like t005s r060w and a dense grid of rural routes including CO Road 190 and Rector Leader Rd.
