About this map

The Colorado-Kansas state line bisects this High Plains landscape, where the rectangular grid of the Public Land Survey System defines the human footprint. A series of numbered county roads, including Co Road CC and Co Road AA, trace section lines across the semi-arid terrain. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the topography shifts toward the North Fork Cimarron River valley. This area includes a significant portion of the Cimarron National Grassland, a protected expanse of shortgrass prairie that honors the region's recovery from the Dust Bowl era. To the north, Sand Arroyo Creek cuts a subtle path through the open country of Baca and Morton counties.
