2022 Map of Lycan SE

About this map

Colorado and Kansas meet along a straight north-south meridian in this high plains borderland, where the terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of the Arkansas River watershed. The landscape is dominated by a rigid section-line road grid, including Co Rd VV and Co Rd RR, which segment the vast agricultural reaches of Baca County and Stanton County. Occasional breaks in the geometric precision occur where Beaty Cr, Buffalo Cr, and Bear Creek meander across the plains, their winding paths carving subtle relief into the otherwise flat township and range system. This 2022 survey illustrates the enduring intersection of early 19th-century land division with modern rural infrastructure, showing how natural watercourses like Buffalo Cr still dictate the placement of local routes such as W Rd 17 and Co Rd PP.
