2022 Map of Noonen Reservoir SW

About this map

The high plains landscape where the Arapahoe Co Elbert Co line divides the terrain is defined by a dendritic network of intermittent watercourses. In this 2022 survey, the drainage of E Bijou Cr and its tributaries, First Cr and Muddy Cr, carve subtle relief into the shortgrass prairie. The human imprint on the land is primarily expressed through a strict section-line road grid, including Jolly Rd and E Wall Rd, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System. These corridors, such as Co Rd 34 and Co Rd 178, serve as the primary conduits through an area dominated by large-scale agricultural and ranching operations characteristic of the Colorado interior.
