About this map

The high plains border between Elbert County and Lincoln County is the setting for this 2016 survey, a landscape defined by ephemeral waterways and a rigid grid of local roads. The town of Limon is situated in the northwestern portion of the map, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural community. A significant local landmark is the Limon Mennonite Cem, located just off Co RD 90, providing a tangible link for those researching local family histories and settlement patterns in this part of eastern Colorado.

Water management and drainage are central to the geography here, with several seasonal channels carving through the terrain. The courses of Big Sandy Cr and Lake Cr stretch across the northern sections, while Long Br and Long Cr traverse the southern reaches. This network of creeks and branches, often dry but critical during periods of runoff, dictates the placement of the section-line roads like Co RD 3e and Co RD 2z.
