2010 Map of Marks Butte

About this map

Sunrise School serves as a historical focal point in this portion of Sedgwick County, where the landscape is defined by a precise grid of rural infrastructure. The map illustrates a high plains environment dominated by large-scale agricultural holdings and ranching operations, such as Price Ranch. This area of eastern Colorado is characterized by its organized transport network, where north-south routes like County Rd 9 and County Rd 15 intersect with east-west thoroughfares to facilitate travel between remote ranch sites and regional centers. The most prominent natural landmark is the topographic rise of Marks Butte on the eastern side of the quadrangle. The map captures the quiet, expansive nature of the region as it appeared during the first decade of the 21st century, prior to modern intensive developments.
