2019 Map of Potty Brown Creek

About this map

Potty Brown Cr and its tributaries define the undulating topography of this eastern Colorado landscape, where drainage patterns dictate the historical and modern layout of the land. The map reveals a strictly regulated grid of section lines and gravel roads, including Hayward Rd and Deter Winters Rd, which cut across the high plains. The intermittent nature of local watercourses like Little Muddy Cr and W Fork San Arroyo Cr reflects the arid environment of the High Plains, where ranching and dryland farming shaped the settlement patterns of Adams County. This 2019 survey documents the enduring Public Land Survey System structure, with Township and Range divisions such as t1s r59w and t2s r58w clearly delineated. The absence of major urban development highlights the rural character of the region, where named landmarks often consist of family-named roads like Philmay Rd and Bixler Rd.
