2010 Map of McKenzie Draw

About this map

McKenzie Draw carves a path through this part of Lincoln County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent water and high plains drainage. The hydrology of the area is centered on Rush Creek and its tributary, South Rush Creek, which wind across the terrain. Smaller water features like Long Branch and the isolated Evilsizer Lake indicate the localized importance of water sources in this cattle-ranching region. Human imprint on the land is primarily represented by a rigid grid of rural infrastructure, with routes such as County Rd 109, County Road W, and County Road U providing access to remote homesteads and ranch sites like Lofdahl Springs. This 2010 survey illustrates the persistence of the rectangular survey system in Colorado's eastern plains, where the vast scale of the land is managed through a precise network of section-line roads.
