2013 Map of Peconic

About this map

Peconic and the outskirts of Burlington occupy this high plains landscape in Kit Carson County, where the topography is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of the Republican River basin. Several significant waterways, including Middle Beaver Cr and Sand Cr, carve subtle valleys through the township and range grid system. A notable point of human-managed water in this arid environment is the C H Parks Reservoir, located in the western portion of the map. The settlement pattern follows a strict cardinally-aligned road network, from CO Road AA in the north to CO Road S in the south, illustrating the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on eastern Colorado’s rural development and agricultural organization.
