About this map

Rule Cr and the seasonal drainages of Caddoa Cr define this section of the High Plains in Bent County, where the landscape is organized by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System. The map documents an area dominated by dryland ranching and water management, notably featuring the Poor Mans Ditch which cuts through the northern sections. This irrigation feature suggests the historical efforts of local settlers to divert water across the arid terrain. The infrastructure is characterized by a sparse network of county roads, including Co Rd BB and Co Rd 16, which follow township and range lines. The topography is shaped by gradual elevation changes and the erosive paths of ephemeral waterways like Hood Draw, illustrating the relationship between the natural drainage patterns and the engineered livestock and agricultural landscape of eastern Colorado.
