2013 Map of Eckley

About this map

Eckley sits at the northern edge of this High Plains landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural grid of Yuma County. The settlement is anchored by local landmarks such as the Eckley Cem and a small network of streets including NW Colfax St and S Main St. The land south of town is defined by a rigorous section line road system, where Bethel Community Hall stands as a rare waypoint in the open country. This 2013 survey illustrates the essential relationship between water and habitation in an arid region, with the North Fork Republican River cutting across the southern reaches and Chief Creek threading through the northeast. The prevalence of named county roads, from Co Road T to Co Road Z, highlights the importance of overland connectivity for the modern farming and ranching operations that characterize this part of eastern Colorado.
