2016 Map of Forder

About this map

Grandma Forgey Grave sits along the section lines in this dry reach of the Colorado High Plains, a poignant reminder of the homesteaders who settled Lincoln County. The small community of Forder marks a primary node in a vast grid of county roads, including Co RD M and Co RD 19, which provide access to isolated farmsteads and ranching sections. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainages of Horse Cr and Little Horse Cr, which cut subtle paths through the terrain. Evidence of early settlement patterns remains visible at Spring Hill Cem, providing a focal point for genealogical research in a region where the vastness of the plains often obscures the historical footprint of individual families.
