About this map

Middle Rush Cr and its various tributaries define the drainage patterns of this high plains landscape along the Elbert and Lincoln County border. This region, characterized by its ranching infrastructure and section-line roads like Co-71, shows the systematic organization of the Colorado prairie. The presence of the Fred Pauls Detention Reservoir Number 1 in the northern portion of the quadrangle highlights early 21st-century water management efforts in an arid environment. Near the eastern boundary, the elevation rises slightly toward Rock Point, overlooking the seasonal flows of Apache Cr and N Rush Cr. The map preserves the specific locations of rural county roads such as Co Road 34 and Co Road 201, which serve as primary landmarks for navigating the vast open spaces between S Rush Cr and Mustang Cr.
