2016 Map of Pinneo

About this map

Pinneo and the surrounding high plains of Eastern Colorado are defined by a rhythmic grid of section lines and gravel roads at the headwaters of Camp Cr. This 2016 survey shows the sparse ranching landscape where the Morgan County and Washington County line divides the terrain. The map documents the localized concentration of water resources and wetlands along the drainage of Camp Cr, contrasting with the surrounding dry land. Aside from the small cluster at Pinneo, the settlement at Midway represents the primary point of human activity along the northern corridor. The systematic layout of county routes, including Co RD 46, Co RD 40, and Co RD Q, reveals the enduring structure of the Public Land Survey System as it organizes the rural economy in the modern era.
