About this map

The boundary between Elbert Co and Lincoln Co cuts through this high plains landscape, where the southern reaches of Limon meet a vast network of drainage basins. The area is defined by the ephemeral flow of Big Sandy Cr and its tributaries, including Long Br and Lake Cr. This terrain is structured by a rigorous grid of county roads, such as Co RD 90 and Co RD 22, which facilitate movement across the agricultural and ranching parcels of the eastern Colorado plains.

At the western edge of the county line, the Limon Mennonite Cem serves as a small but significant landmark for genealogical research. The map illustrates the 21st-century configuration of this rural corridor, where historical township lines like t10s r56w still govern the layout of the land. The presence of numerous intermittent ponds and wetlands throughout the sections suggests a landscape that transforms dramatically during seasonal rains.
