2010 Map of Punkin Center

About this map

Punkin Center serves as the focal point for this expansive section of Lincoln County, situated at a junction where the high plains landscape is defined by the winding paths of several intermittent waterways. The meandering course of Horse Creek dominates the southwestern portion of the map, while South Rush Creek and Mustang Creek carve their way through the northern reaches. This 2010 survey illustrates a sparse rural settlement pattern, where the land is organized into a strictly rectangular grid of service roads including County Road Z, County Road X, and County Road T. The intersection at Punkin Center highlights a moment in the region's ranching and agricultural history, capturing the essential road network that connects isolated homesteads across the prairie and manages the drainage of the eastern Colorado plains.
