2013 Map of Last Chance NW

About this map

Fraizer Farms stands as a focal point in this 2013 survey of the High Plains, where Arapahoe, Adams, and Washington counties meet. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, including the serpentine paths of Beaver Cr and Middlemist Cr. These waterways cut through the terrain to create distinct landforms such as Bobcat Canyon and the broad Cottonwood Valley. While modern infrastructure is represented by the transit corridor of Us-36 E and a grid of local routes like Windview Rd, the map reveals a predominantly agricultural and ranching environment. The sparse distribution of named farmsteads and the preservation of natural features like Cottonwood Cr and Rattlesnake Cr reflect a rural continuity in eastern Colorado, showing how the local topography dictates the patterns of habitation and land use.
