2022 Map of Lusto Springs

About this map

Lusto Springs serves as a focal point in this high-plains landscape where the border of Washington and Lincoln counties meets. The terrain is defined by the headwaters and drainage patterns of the N Fork Arikaree River, which cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle. Northward, the topography transitions toward prominent landmarks such as Flat Top and the meandering paths of Vega Creek and Gordon Cr. This modern survey reveals a sparsely populated ranching or agricultural region organized by a rigid grid of rural routes, including Co RD 4d and Co RD G. The map detail allows for a precise study of the intersection between natural water sources and the surveyed land system that dictates human movement across these eastern Colorado plains.
