2010 Map of Lone Star

About this map

Lone Star and the surrounding high plains of Washington County appear here in a systematic grid of agricultural development. The landscape is defined by its rectilinear road network, including the intersection of County Road XX and County Road 54, which serves as the primary artery for this rural community. Water drainage is sparse but critical, represented by the meandering courses of Rock Creek, Red Willow Creek, and Surveyor Creek as they cut through the dry terrain. Local heritage is centered at the Schlake Cemetery, located along County Road 52, providing a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing families in this part of eastern Colorado. This survey illustrates the persistence of a remote ranching and farming region where the infrastructure is entirely dictated by the section-line roads, such as County Road YY and County Road AAA.
