2022 Map of Genoa West

About this map

Genoa sits at the eastern edge of this High Plains landscape, where the prairie is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of Hell Cr, Dugout Cr, and Lickdab Cr. These creek beds carve subtle relief into the terrain of Lincoln County, illustrating how water and topography dictated the original placement of transportation corridors. The map highlights the evolution of transit in the region, contrasting the modern Interstate 70 with the winding path of Old Hwy 24. A geometric grid of rural routes, including Co Rd 3n and Co Rd 24, marks the persistent township and range boundaries that have organized this ranching and agricultural country for generations. This 2022 survey provides a clear view of the sparse but resilient settlement patterns typical of the Colorado plains.
