About this map

Monument serves as the primary settlement on this High Plains landscape, situated along a prominent east-west transportation corridor. The town's layout is defined by a grid of streets including numerical designations like 1st through 8th, while the surrounding rural landscape is partitioned by a network of county roads such as Co RD 350 and Co RD 310. Genealogists will find the Monument Cemetery positioned to the north, overlooking the drainage of the North Branch Hackberry Creek.

The physical geography is dominated by the dendritic patterns of the Hackberry Creek system, including the Middle Branch Hackberry Creek and South Branch Hackberry Creek. Further south, the terrain shifts toward Sixmile Creek and the landform of Sixmile Gulch. Distinctive local road names like Eagle Eye, Broken Bow, and Vista provide unique identifiers for specific stretches of the rural grid, reflecting local landmarks or ranching history.
