About this map

Cottonwood Valley and Bobcat Canyon define the landscape of this high plains region, where the borders of Adams, Washington, and Arapahoe Counties meet. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage systems including Beaver Cr, Middlemist Cr, and Cottonwood Cr, which have carved significant depressions into the plateau. Unlike more densely settled regions, this area maintains a strict section-line grid of rural roads, such as Winview Mile Rd and N Davison Rd, reflecting the enduring agricultural and ranching layout of eastern Colorado. The mapping detail shows the subtle topography of the Rattlesnake Cr watershed and the long-established county boundaries that partition these open spaces. This survey provides a precise look at the land and water patterns before any modern development might alter these traditional property divisions.
