About this map

The Arikaree River flows across this High Plains landscape, marking a significant drainage route through the borderlands between Lincoln and Elbert Counties. The terrain is defined by deep incisions such as Devil Canyon and the namesake T Draw, where intermittent streams like Middlemist Cr and Vega Cr have carved through the arid plateau. This 2022 survey captures a rural environment where land use is dominated by large-scale agricultural operations, most notably the Metrogro Farm Airport in the northwestern portion of the quadrangle.

A network of county roads, including Co RD 3t and Co RD 3r, provides the primary infrastructure through these sprawling sections of Colorado ranch land. The map illustrates the late-modern intersection of historical drainage patterns and contemporary agricultural aviation, offering a clear view of how water and topography continue to dictate the placement of human activity in this part of the Western Plains.
