2010 Map of Platner

About this map

Platner stands as a focal point in this portion of Washington County, where the high plains landscape is defined by an orderly grid of section roads and the winding path of Surveyor Creek. This drainage system meanders through the southern half of the quadrangle, cutting across the geometric precision of the local road network, which includes County Rd HH and County Rd 39. To the north, Gebauer Airport provides an essential link for this rural Colorado community, illustrating the importance of aerial access in the vast agricultural expanses between the larger towns of the region. The map documents a landscape of large-scale farming and ranching, where the primary infrastructure consists of long-distance county routes and the seasonal flow of the creek bed.
