About this map

High plains terrain dominates this corner of Yuma County, defined by the intricate depressions and shifting contours of the Colorado prairie. The landscape is organized by a precise grid of rural thoroughfares, including north-south routes like Co Rd AA and Co Rd BB, and east-west crossings such as Co Rd 45 and Co Rd 42. These roads follow the section lines established by the Public Land Survey System, which divides the area into townships t3n r44w and t2n r44w.

The absence of concentrated settlements highlights the agricultural and ranching character of the region. Local travel is facilitated by unique fractional routes like Co Rd 46 5/10 and Co Rd 38 5/10, which often indicate historical property boundaries or topographical bypasses. Scattered wetlands and intermittent water features are mapped throughout the rolling ground, reflecting the hydraulic reality of the eastern Colorado plains in the early twenty-first century.
