2022 Map of Durkee Creek NE

About this map

Prowers Co, Colorado, and Hamilton Co, Kansas, meet along a straight meridian boundary in this high plains landscape. The terrain is defined by a sparse but regular grid of county roads that navigate the subtle drainages and rises of the region. This 2022 survey captures the modern rural layout where transportation follows the legal lines of the Public Land Survey System, as seen in the alignment of Co Rd 37 and Coolidge Rd. The map illustrates how human movement is structured by the state line, with several routes like Co Rd Z, Co Rd X, and Co Rd W terminating or shifting at the border. This intersection of two states highlights the rigid geometry of western land management in an area dominated by open range and ranching infrastructure.
