1979 Map of Flagler NW

About this map

Arikaree River and Hell Creek dominate this 1970s landscape on the High Plains of eastern Colorado. This corner of Lincoln Co and Kit Carson Co is characterized by its wide, sandy drainage basins and a regular grid of section lines that define the region's agricultural layout. Unlike more mountainous parts of the state, the land here is marked by subtle shifts in elevation and several scattered water wells, highlighting the importance of groundwater for survival and ranching in this semi-arid environment. The lack of concentrated settlements or major infrastructure suggests a sparsely populated area focused on grazing or dryland farming, where the natural watercourses provide the primary geographical orientation across the open range.
