2016 Map of Eckley NW

About this map

The high plains of eastern Colorado are captured here in a meticulously gridded landscape of agricultural boundaries and section lines. Defined by the Public Land Survey System divisions of t3n r46w, t3n r45w, t2n r46w, and t2n r45w, this area of Yuma County reflects the enduring legacy of the Homestead Act. The terrain is characterized by subtle elevation changes and an expansive network of rural county roads that facilitate the movement of goods and people across the plains. These corridors, including Co Rd 46 and Co Rd T, follow the strict cardinal geometry of the township and range system, providing essential connectivity between isolated farmsteads and the regional centers beyond the map's edges. This 2016 survey emphasizes the topographical nuances of the land, showing how the natural drainage patterns and prairie contours interact with the rigid human-imposed infrastructure.
