2012 Map of Elkhart NW

About this map

The N Fork Cimarron River winds through the northern portion of this Morton County landscape, a region defined by a rigid grid of numbered pastures and administrative boundary lines. These expansive grazing lands, including the North Fork Pasture and Greenwood Pasture, reflect the systematic management of the Cimarron National Grassland. The map reveals the intersection of high plains hydrology and federal land organization, where the river's drainage creates the only natural deviation from the rectilinear road network.
