2010 Map of Stanley Gulch

About this map

South Rush Creek winds through this section of the high plains in Lincoln County, carving a subtle path across a landscape defined by its grid of rural transport. The drainage of Stanley Gulch meets the creek in the eastern half of the quadrangle, serving as a primary topographical landmark in an area primarily organized around agricultural section lines. This 2010 digital-age survey captures the rectilinear layout of the high prairie, where State Highway 94 cuts a straight east-west line across the northern terrain. The map records a system of maintained gravel and dirt paths including County Road Y and County Road W, reflecting the enduring settlement pattern of eastern Colorado's ranching and farming country.
