2016 Map of Poison Springs

About this map

Poison Springs lies at the heart of this high plains landscape in Adams County, anchoring a drainage system where Poison Springs Cr feeds into the surrounding arid terrain. The 2016 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region defined by its hydrography and a rigid section-line road network. Major watercourses like Little Muddy Cr, East Fork Little Muddy Cr, and Muddy Cr carve paths through the topography, indicating the critical role of seasonal water in this part of Colorado. The infrastructure is characterized by long, straight corridors such as Hanks Crossing Rd and 96th Ave, which reflect the systematic agricultural and ranching divisions typical of the Western United States. This map provides a detailed view of the terrain before further modern development, preserving the precise locations of named springs and arroyos that have served as local landmarks for generations.
