2019 Map of Moore Draw SW

About this map

The high plains of southeast Colorado are defined here by the extensive acreage of the Comanche National Grassland and a network of ephemeral watercourses. This 2019 survey captures a landscape dominated by ranching and history, specifically the path of the Aubry Cutoff - SFHNT, a significant historical trail route that traverses the southwestern portion of the map. The terrain is marked by numerous drainage features such as Moore Draw, Mitchell Draw, and Murray Draw, which carve subtle topography into the prairie. Near the eastern boundary, the Mount Carmel Cem serves as a lone landmark of the area's early settlement. A rigid grid of county roads, including Co RD K and Co RD C, provides the primary access through this open country, illustrating the enduring township and range system that organized the American West.
