2013 Map of Dunlap Ranch

About this map

The high plains of eastern Colorado are defined by a vast, organized grid of county roads and intermittent waterways in this 2013 survey. The terrain is notably sparse, centered on the Dunlap Ranch and Oswald Ranch, which anchor the local landscape between the Cheyenne Co Kiowa Co boundary. Transport is dominated by the north-south corridor of Us-287 N, which cuts a straight path through the undulating contours of the region. The drainage of Rush Creek provides the primary topographic variation in the northern sections of the map, crossing underneath the highway as it winds through the prairie. This map records the modern cattle ranching and agricultural framework of the area, evidenced by the precise section lines and extensive network of local thoroughfares including CO Road A, CO Road Z, and CO Road W.
