2016 Map of Lycan

About this map

Lycan and Buckeye Crossroads anchor this high plains landscape in eastern Colorado as it appeared in the mid-2010s. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainages of Buffalo Cr and Beaty Cr, which carve subtle relief into the expansive grid of the Public Land Survey System. The area is characterized by its meticulous sectioning, where a network of county roads follows the section lines with near-mathematical precision. Named routes such as Co Rd Vv, Co Rd Pp, and Co Rd Mm facilitate movement across this agricultural and ranching territory. This survey reflects the enduring rural character of Baca County, where the intersections at Buckeye Crossroads remain vital landmarks in an area of low-density settlement. The map serves as a detailed record of the intersections and local road systems that connect these small ranching hubs to the broader regional network.
