About this map

Lone Star and its surrounding agricultural landscape are meticulously documented in this survey of the high plains along the border of Washington and Yuma Counties. This 2013 edition illustrates a sparse, grid-defined geography where life follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, as seen in the extensive network of local routes like Co Road 54 and Co Road XX. The presence of the Schlake Cem provides a vital touchstone for genealogists and local historians, anchoring the contemporary map to the area's pioneer roots.

The terrain is defined by the subtle drainage systems of Rock Creek, Red Willow Creek, and Surveyor Creek, which cut through the high tableland. These waterways, though seasonal in nature, dictate the placement of ranching infrastructure across the vast T004N R049W and adjacent townships. The map serves as a detailed record of the intersections between modern highway infrastructure like Co Hwy 54 and the enduring natural features that have shaped settlement in this corner of Colorado.
