2022 Map of Thurman

About this map

The High Plains landscape of eastern Colorado is defined by the winding course of the North Fork Arikaree River and the main Arikaree River as they meander through Washington, Lincoln, and Kit Carson counties. This 2022 survey captures a rural territory where the intersection of three counties meets along the straight line of Co Rd 0. The sparse settlement pattern is anchored by the Thurman Cem, a significant marker for local genealogy and the namesake for the quadrangle. The terrain is otherwise a grid of county roads, including Co Rd 3 and Co Rd NN, which navigate the subtle relief of the river valleys. This map illustrates the enduring agricultural layout of the region, where township and range lines like t5s r52w organize the vast, open stretches of the plains.
