2019 Map of Last Chance

About this map

Last Chance stands as a focal point in this high plains landscape of Washington County, where the topography is defined by the gradual drainage of ephemeral creek systems. The terrain is carved by the W Fork Plum Bush Cr and the E Fork Plumb Bush Cr, along with the winding course of Vega Cr to the east. These waterways create a series of gentle ridges and draws that dictate the layout of the rural road network. A precise grid of county roads, including Co Rd G and Co Rd 7, provides access across the various townships and ranges. This survey captures the sparse, systematic settlement pattern of Eastern Colorado, where large-scale agricultural or ranching plots are organized within the Public Land Survey System as indicated by the prominent township boundaries like t4s r55w and t4s r56w.
