2010 Map of Sand

About this map

Sand serves as the focal point for this section of Dawson County, illustrating a vast agricultural landscape defined by a rigid grid of rural roads. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a sparsely populated region where life and commerce are dictated by the transportation network. The area is intersected by several county routes, including Co Rd 100 and Co Rd CC, which facilitate movement between scattered homesteads and fields. The land use patterns evident here, such as the parcels bounded by Co Rd 453 and Co Rd 422, highlight the systematic organization of the High Plains, where large-scale farming dominates the environment. This map provides a clear record of the rural infrastructure as it existed in the early 21st century.
