1983 Map of Last Chance

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Last Chance and the surrounding high plains of Eastern Colorado appear here as a landscape defined by expansive ranching and agriculture, surveyed at a time when the region was networked by rural hamlets and small crossroads. The map documents the convergence of several county lines, including Adams, Arapahoe, Washington, and Elbert, illustrating how these administrative boundaries intersect the natural drainage basins. Water sources are critical features in this arid terrain, with Arickaree Creek and its north and west forks cutting across the eastern half, while Cottonwood Valley and Badger Creek define the western reaches. Scattered small settlements such as Lindon, Anton, and Woodrow serve as the primary human hubs, connected by a grid of rural roads and punctuated by functional landmarks like a series of remote Landing Strips.
