2013 Map of High Rock

About this map

Prairie View School and Good Intent School stand as evidence of the organized rural education system that once served the remote ranching and farming families of Bent County. This landscape is defined by its drainage network, where the waters of Caddoa Creek flow through the northern reaches while Mud Creek and its tributary, West Mud Creek, carve through the eastern sections. The terrain rises to the namesake High Rock, providing a prominent natural landmark in a region where water management is critical, as shown by the Scott Pierce Ditch in the far northeast corner. A strict grid of county roads, including Co Road BB and Co Road 22, partitions the land into large sections, reflecting the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the geography of Colorado's eastern plains.
