About this map

Rush Cr and its tributary S Rush Cr carve through the high plains of Lincoln County, defining the drainage patterns of this rural landscape. The topography is dominated by the broad depression of McKenzie Draw, which snakes across the central portion of the quadrangle. In the southeast corner, Evilsizer Lake provides a rare localized catchment point amidst the dry land.

A strictly organized grid of section lines and county roads, such as Co Road 109 and Co-94, illustrates the persistence of the Public Land Survey System in late 20th and early 21st-century Colorado. This map reveals a region focused on large-scale land management, where the intersection of natural draws and man-made infrastructure like Co Road U and Co Road 36 dictates the movement of people and livestock across the prairie.
