2010 Map of Elba SW

About this map

Washington County’s agricultural landscape is defined by a rigorous section-line road network in this 2010 survey of the Elba SW quadrangle. The terrain is organized by a systematic grid of routes, including County Road BB, County Road DD, and County Road EE, which facilitate transit across the open High Plains. While the map is sparse in named settlements, the intricate hydrography of ephemeral stream beds and seasonal drainages reveals the natural drainage patterns that have dictated land use and homestead placement in this corner of Colorado. The presence of specialized designations like County Rd-19 5/10 and County Road FF 5/10 suggests a high degree of local precision in navigating the rural property divisions that sustain the region's ranching and farming economy.
