About this map

The High Plains landscape of Logan County, Colorado, is captured here in a transition zone across the state line. This 2011 survey illustrates a sparse, highly organized agricultural and grazing region defined by a rigid section-line grid. Water management is the primary landmark in this semi-arid environment, centered on the Olsen Dam along an ephemeral drainage. The transportation network is almost entirely composed of local routes such as Road 14 and Road 12, which serve isolated ranching outposts. This map provides a clear record of the modern rural infrastructure, showing how land division and water storage continue to shape the settlement patterns in the northeastern corner of the state.
