2010 Map of Haxtun East

About this map

Haxtun occupies the southwestern edge of this agricultural landscape in Phillips County, marking a clear point of transition from town to the vast, grid-based farming sections of eastern Colorado. The surrounding topography is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Wildhorse Creek, which winds through the northeastern portion of the quadrangle. The map illustrates a highly organized rural infrastructure, dominated by an extensive network of thoroughfares such as County RD-42 and County RD-7. These roads delineate the section lines typical of High Plains settlement patterns, supporting the movement of goods and machinery between the municipal center and outlying ranching or farming operations. For those researching the evolution of rural development, the precise alignment of roads like County RD-30 and County RD-28 highlights the enduring structure of the region's land management and transportation history.
