About this map

Lusto Springs serves as a central landmark in this 2019 survey, situated along the county line where Washington and Lincoln counties meet. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of the High Plains, with Vega Creek and its smaller tributary Vega Cr carving shallow paths toward the south. The southern edge of the quadrangle is anchored by the N Fork Arikaree River, a vital water source in this semi-arid region.

Evidence of the rectilinear public land survey system is clear, with a grid of rural routes such as Co RD G and RD 4 providing access to the vast agricultural and ranching sections. Local topography is generally subtle, though Flat Top provides a distinct elevation point in the northwest. This map documents a modern snapshot of a classic Colorado prairie landscape, tracing the intermittent flows of Gordon Cr and W Fork Plum Bush Cr as they traverse the open country.
