2013 Map of Forder

About this map

Forder and the surrounding rangeland of Lincoln County are defined by a network of rural county roads and the drainage of Horse Cr. This high plains landscape in eastern Colorado preserves evidence of early ranching and family history through isolated landmarks such as the Forder Ranch and Bar W W Ranch. The map reveals important genealogical sites for local history researchers, including the Spring Hill Cem and the specific location of the Grandma Forgey Grave. Transportation through this territory is anchored by the north-south corridor of Co-71, which connects the various ranching outposts. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Little Horse Cr meanders through the terrain, illustrating the critical role of water sources in this arid environment.
