2016 Map of North Plum Creek NE

About this map

The High Plains of Prowers County reveal a network of ephemeral watercourses and section-line roads in this 2016 survey. The terrain is defined by the drainage of Granada Cr, which winds through the central portion of the quadrangle toward the Arkansas River valley. These creek beds, along with Wolf Cr in the northwest and Durkee Cr to the south, create subtle breaks in the level agricultural and grazing lands. The human footprint is traced by a strict grid of county thoroughfares, including Co Rd AA and Co Rd 27, which mark the boundaries of townships like t24s r43w. This landscape demonstrates the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on modern Colorado geography, where nearly every mile is accounted for by a named road or a section boundary.
