2013 Map of Noonen Reservoir SW

About this map

The high plains of the Arapahoe Co Elbert Co border are defined by a rhythmic drainage pattern of seasonal creeks and a grid of rural county roads. Waterways like First Cr and Muddy Cr carve north-trending valleys through the terrain, while the southwest corner is marked by the presence of E Bijou Cr. This landscape is fundamentally shaped by the Public Land Survey System, with the map clearly delineating the boundaries of T005S R059W and neighboring townships. These surveyed sections dictate the placement of local infrastructure, including north-south corridors like S Monnahan RD and various east-west routes such as CO Road 42. The area reflects a contemporary era of agricultural land use and rural connectivity, where the surveyor's grid remains the primary organizing principle across the rolling divide between the larger river basins to the east and west.
