2010 Map of Rock Basin

About this map

Buffalo Basin and Rock Basin dominate this high plains landscape in Lincoln County, where the topography is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Rush Creek. This 2010 survey illustrates a sparsely populated ranching or agricultural region marked by a geometric grid of rural infrastructure. The map traces several arterial routes including County Road U and County Rd 38, which provide the primary connectivity across the basins. Unlike more developed areas, the focus here remains on the natural depressions and the seasonal watercourses that shape the eastern Colorado plains. The network of roads such as County Rd 43 and County Rd 63 follows the section lines, revealing the systematic land division that governs this quiet stretch of the frontier.
