2016 Map of Last Chance

About this map

Last Chance is the central point of interest in this high-plains landscape, situated at a crossroads where the local road network converges. The geography is defined by a series of north-south drainage patterns, most notably the seasonal waterways of East Fork Plumb Bush Cr and West Fork Plumb Bush Cr. To the southeast, the terrain transitions toward the valley of Vega Cr. This map illustrates a characteristic Colorado prairie settlement pattern, where small hubs like Last Chance developed to serve the agricultural community. The grid of rural routes, including Co RD G and Co RD 7, follows the Public Land Survey System lines, reflecting the structured organization of the eastern plains. The drainage of W Fork Plumb Bush Cr in the northwest corner further emphasizes the subtle but vital topography of this semi-arid region.
