2016 Map of Deora

About this map

Deora and Frick sit at the intersection of long-established section roads in this corner of the High Plains, where the landscape is defined by the subtle drainage patterns of Two Butte Creek. The map shows a highly structured agricultural and ranching environment, with a grid of county roads such as Co RD SS and Co RD 6 providing access to the wide-open spaces between the watercourses. The local geography is marked by significant natural depressions and erosion features, including Shell Rock Canyon and Arrasmith Draw. These landforms, along with the presence of Alkali Spring, illustrate the semi-arid character of the region and the critical importance of water management in eastern Colorado. Further south, the settlement of Atlanta is located near the banks of Freezout Cr, positioned amidst the various draws like Antelope Draw that channel runoff toward the larger creek systems.
