2017 Map of Derrick

About this map

Derrick sits at the center of this Ramsey County landscape, characterized by the intricate drainage patterns of the Edmore Coulee. The terrain is defined by numerous small depressions and seasonal wetlands typical of the prairie pothole region, where the land is strictly divided by the Public Land Survey System into townships like t158n r61w and t158n r62w. For those tracing local history, Prospect Cem is located in the northeastern corner of the quadrangle along CO Hwy 9, serving as a permanent landmark in an area dominated by agricultural sections and a grid of secondary roads such as 73rd St NE and 67th St NE. The map illustrates the late 20th and early 21st-century rural layout, where small settlements like Derrick persist as vital points of reference amidst the vast network of coulees and fields.
