2019 Map of Stanley Gulch

About this map

Stanley Gulch cuts through this high plains landscape of Lincoln County, defining the local drainage system alongside the meandering S Rush Cr. The terrain is marked by a network of seasonal watercourses and the steady expansion of county roads that follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. These routes, including Co Rd 29 and Co Rd 27, provide the primary infrastructure for this ranching and agricultural region. Mapping by the U.S. Geological Survey details the subtle elevation changes and the confluence where Rush Cr meets its southern branch, illustrating the fundamental water-and-land relationship in this semi-arid portion of eastern Colorado.
