2022 Map of Long Creek

About this map

The high plains of eastern Colorado are defined by a network of ephemeral drainage systems and section-line roads along the Elbert Co Lincoln Co boundary. The landscape is carved by the intermittent flows of Long Cr, N Rush Cr, and Apache Creek, which navigate the subtle elevation changes of the western Great Plains. This 2022 survey illustrates the modern rural infrastructure of the region, where a grid of county roads such as Co Rd 2V, Co Rd 2T, and Co Rd 21 provides access to vast sections of ranching or agricultural land. The map serves as a detailed record of the township and range system, specifically noting t11s r57w and t12s r56w, offering local historians and land researchers a precise look at the division of space in this sparsely populated portion of Lincoln County.
