About this map

Ruxton and Ninaview anchor this corner of southeastern Colorado, where the high plains are carved by a network of intermittent drainages. The landscape is defined by its ranching and resource history, evidenced by the Allen Jones Mine situated near the intersection of County Road B and County Road 14. The topography reveals distinctive landmarks used by travelers and residents for generations, including the Devils Rocking Chair, Eagle Cliff, and Round Mound.

Water management is central to the area's geography, with the paths of Rule Creek, Muddy Creek, and Shawnee Creek dictating the placement of primitive roads and county boundaries. The map traces the winding course of Ruxton Draw in the northeast and Wildcat Hill to the west of Dry Creek, illustrating the transition from open grazing land to the more broken terrain typical of the region's draws and breaks.
