2019 Map of Long Creek

About this map

The high plains of eastern Colorado are defined here by a network of seasonal drainages and a rigid grid of rural section roads. The boundary of Elbert Co Lincoln Co bisects the landscape, marking a transition in this agricultural and ranching region. Waterways such as Long Creek and North Rush Creek meander across the terrain, while Apache Creek cuts through the southern sections. This area remains largely open, with the human footprint primarily visible through the systematic placement of county roads like Co Rd 201 and Co Rd 62. These routes provide essential access to the remote township and range divisions, illustrating the enduring survey patterns established during the settlement of the western frontier.
