2012 Map of Moscow NW

About this map

The Cimarron River and its northern tributary, the N Fork Cimarron River, carve a winding path through the high plains of Grant County. This 2012 survey documents a landscape defined by its rigid section-line road network, where routes like S Rd Q and S Rd R intersect the expansive horizontal stretches of E Road 20 and E Road 22. The terrain is characterized by the wide, sandy beds of these intermittent western rivers, which dictate the placement of crossings and the few irregular property boundaries in an otherwise geometric grid. Local thoroughfares such as 4mi Rd and 6mi Rd provide the primary infrastructure for the region's agricultural activity, connecting the rural homesteads and fields that occupy the spaces between the watercourses.
