2019 Map of Flagler NW

About this map

The Arikaree River winds through this High Plains landscape, defining the hydrology of eastern Colorado near the border of Lincoln County and Kit Carson County. The terrain is characterized by a sparse network of county roads, such as Co Rd 45 and Co Rd 3y, which grid the rural townships of T6S and T7S. These routes suggest a landscape dominated by large-scale ranching or dryland farming, where the occasional drainages like Hell Creek provide the primary topographical relief. This 2019 survey documents the enduring sectional land system and the critical role of watercourses in an otherwise arid expanse. The absence of concentrated town centers highlights the isolation of this region, where life is organized around the intersection of section lines and intermittent creek beds.
