2019 Map of Thurman

About this map

The Thurman Cem serves as a lone local landmark in the northern reaches of this rural landscape, situated along Co RD 3 in Washington County. This region is defined by the winding paths of the North Fork Arikaree River and the Arikaree River, which cut across the high plains terrain. A notable geographic intersection occurs where the borders of Washington Co, Lincoln Co, and Kit Carson Co converge, marking a significant tri-county boundary point. The map reveals a strictly gridded system of local roads, such as Co RD 0 and Co RD CC, which navigate the subtle elevation changes of the river valleys. This survey illustrates the sparse, agrarian nature of the Eastern Plains in the early twenty-first century, preserving the placement of isolated cemeteries and the natural hydrography that historically dictated land use in this open territory.
