2019 Map of Towner

About this map

Towner sits at the heart of this High Plains landscape, situated just west of the Colorado-Kansas state line. This 2019 survey documents the enduring grid of the Public Land Survey System, where agricultural life is defined by the intersection of Main St and a network of county roads like Co Rd 80. To the west of the town site, the Towner Cem serves as a vital touchstone for local genealogy, while the proximity of Kanco at the border reflects the historical and economic ties between Kiowa County, Colorado and Greeley County, Kansas. The terrain is characterized by subtle drainage patterns and vast sections of farmland, illustrating the persistent settlement patterns of the American West in the early twenty-first century.
