About this map

Kirkland Cem serves as a small but significant local history landmark within this rural Lincoln County landscape, situated near the intersection of Co RD J and Co RD 11. This area of eastern Colorado is defined by its drainage systems and subtle topography, where Little Horse Cr and Steels Fork wind across the terrain toward the south. The map illustrates a developed network of county roads, such as Co RD S and Co RD R, which segment the plains into a regular grid, supporting the remote ranching and agricultural operations of the region.

Water management and natural landforms dominate the geography, from the irrigation infrastructure of Douglas Ditch to the seasonal hydrology of Pats Draw and Seldom Ridge Draw. Broad expanses like Ninemile Flats and the namesake Peace Valley reveal the open character of the high plains. In the southeast corner, the Kuester Reservoir provides a critical water source near the banks of Dead Horse Cr.
