2010 Map of High Rock

About this map

Indian Rock Cemetery serves as a quiet landmark in this high plains landscape of Bent County. The 2010 geography reveals a sparse settlement pattern defined by the legacy of local education, evidenced by the Good Intent School and Prairie View School. Water management and natural drainage dictate the layout of the land, with Caddoa Creek cutting through the northwest while Mud Creek and West Mud Creek wind through the eastern reaches. The namesake High Rock rises near the junction of Antelope Creek, providing a distinct topographic marker in an area otherwise dominated by a rigid grid of county roads. The inclusion of the Scott Pierce Ditch highlights the critical role of irrigation and water rights in this arid Colorado environment.
