2019 Map of Rose Ranch

About this map

Rose Ranch serves as the central namesake of this high plains landscape, situated near the intersection of Co RD 31 and Co RD D. The map documents a sparsely settled agricultural and ranching region where the vast, open terrain is defined by a grid of county roads such as Co RD H and Co RD 33. In the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, the presence of Government Spring provides a rare water source for this semi-arid environment, lying just north of the border where Kiowa Co meets Bent County. This 2019 survey illustrates the enduring patterns of the Public Land Survey System across the Colorado plains, organized by townships like t20s r49w and t19s r50w, which continue to dictate the placement of rural property lines and local transportation routes.
