2016 Map of Idalia SW

About this map

The South Fork Republican River defines the central landscape of this eastern Colorado borderland, where the waterway meanders through the arid high plains. This 2016 survey documents a sparsely populated agricultural region at the junction of Yuma and Kit Carson counties, marked by a precise grid of county roads such as Co RD NN and Co RD LL. Water management is a primary feature of the local geography, evidenced by the Chester Wieser Erosion Control Number 1 Reservoir in the northeast and numerous drainage patterns like N Sand Cr and Dry Gulch. The map illustrates the persistence of the Public Land Survey System, with township and range boundaries like t6s r45w clearly delineated. This technical layout provides an essential record for land use and hydrology, showing how local residents navigate the undulating terrain and manage water resources in the Republican River basin.
