2019 Map of Last Chance NW

About this map

Cottonwood Valley and its surrounding high plains landscape define this section of Colorado where Adams, Arapahoe, and Washington counties converge. The drainage system is the primary geographic driver here, with Beaver Cr and Middlemist Cr carving through the terrain alongside Bobcat Canyon. The land is organized by the Public Land Survey System, as evidenced by the straight-line county roads and township boundaries such as t4s r57w that intersect the natural topography. The map reveals an area defined by agricultural or ranching transit, where long-established section-line routes like Meridian Rd Co Rd 72 and Winview Mile Rd provide the only infrastructure across the wide drainage basins of Cottonwood Cr and Rattlesnake Cr.
