2013 Map of Last Chance

About this map

Last Chance stands at the intersection of Us-36 E and Co-71, serving as a vital point of navigation on the eastern plains of Washington County. This landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of the W Fork Plum Bush Cr and E Fork Plum Bush Cr, which create subtle variations in the local topography. The map reveals the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, with county roads such as Co Road 11 and Co Road 7 following section lines across the high plains. The intermittent path of Vega Cr cuts through the eastern sections, illustrating the water-dependent nature of life and ranching in this semi-arid region. The layout of these transit corridors and natural draws provides a clear view of how land was partitioned and managed in the early 21st century.
