2010 Map of Shamrock SE

About this map

Middlemist Oil Field anchors the northern reaches of this High Plains landscape, situated near the headwaters of Badger Creek. The terrain is defined by a sparse but deliberate network of section-line roads, such as Hard Money Mile Rd and Payrock Mile Rd, which provide access to the agricultural and energy resources of northeastern Colorado. Intermittent watercourses, including Poison Springs Creek and Sand Arroyo Creek, weave through the open country, illustrating the importance of natural drainage patterns in this semi-arid environment. This 2010 survey reflects a period of continued local industry, where the grid-based road system supports both rural transit and energy extraction in a relatively undisturbed expanse of Adams County.
