2013 Map of Genoa East

About this map

The town of Genoa and the settlement of Bovina anchor this High Plains landscape, where the Jeffersonian grid of county roads meets the winding courses of intermittent prairie streams. The area is defined by its deep roots in the local community, evidenced by several distinct burial grounds including the Genoa Community Cem, the Genoa Lutheran Cem, and the Bovina Cem. These sites, along with the Lutheran Cem to the north, offer valuable data points for genealogists tracing families in Lincoln County. The drainage network, characterized by Hell Cr, Hackberry Cr, and Dugout Cr, carves subtle relief into the terrain, while Dugout Springs suggests the critical importance of water sources in this semi-arid region. Modern transportation corridors like Frontage Rd follow the historical path of movement through this part of eastern Colorado.
