2010 Map of Last Chance

About this map

Last Chance sits at a high-plains crossroads in Washington County, where the sprawling grid of the Colorado eastern plains meets the subtle drainage of the High Plains. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral winding of the West Fork Plumb Bush Creek and East Fork Plumb Bush Creek, which cut shallow north-south paths through the open country. This 2010 survey illustrates the rigid geometric order of local transport, dominated by a numbered and lettered grid including County Rd-11, County Rd-10, and County Road K. To the southeast, Vega Creek introduces a diagonal break in the terrain, reflecting the natural contours that dictate local water management and ranching boundaries in this sparsely populated region of the state.
