2013 Map of Durkee Creek NE

About this map

The high plains borderland between Colorado and Kansas is defined here by a precise grid of rural infrastructure and administrative boundaries. This 2013 survey documents the intersection of Prowers County and Hamilton County, where the land is divided into the large townships of t024s r042w, t024s r041w, and t025s r042w. The landscape is a textbook example of the Public Land Survey System, characterized by a series of straight-line arterial routes such as Co Road AA, Co Road Y, and Co Road V that follow section lines across the open terrain. The lack of concentrated settlements or named water bodies emphasizes the agricultural character of this remote region, where the primary human features are the very roads that facilitate movement between distant farmsteads and county lines.
