2022 Map of Fiddler Peak

About this map

The High Plains borderland where Phillips Co meets Yuma Co is defined by a rhythmic pattern of section roads and subtle drainages. This high-desert landscape is anchored by Fiddler Peak, a topographic rise in the northeastern corner that overlooks the surrounding plains. The terrain is carved by the winding course of Patent Cr, which cuts diagonally across the township lines. This area represents a classic example of the American Rectangular Survey System, where the grid of county roads, including Co RD 60 and Co RD 21, dictates the movement and agricultural division of the land. The mapping of t6n r46w and adjacent townships illustrates the expansive, open nature of Eastern Colorado’s rural geography.
